ASCII working/not working
Is there a setting that determines if Word will accept ASCII characters? A
user of mine tried to enter an e-accent-acute by using ALT+0233. This setting doesn't work on his home or work PC but it does work on mine. I tried it on his, and I tried using the unicode with ALT+X and that doesn't work either. It's almost like his Word is not enabled to accept ASCII or Unicode characters. (He can enter the symbol if he uses Insert, Symbol or if he does CTRL+' E. Can anyone help? -- Thanks, GillianHG |

Does your user have NumLock turned on?

We used the number keys at the top of the keyboard.

The Alt+number thing doesn't work with the number keys at the top of the
keyboard. Use the numeric keypad. GillianHG wrote: We used the number keys at the top of the keyboard. "garfield-n-odie" wrote: Does your user have NumLock turned on?
