I have an IBM laptop with XP and MS Office PRO.
If I press ALT + numeric code, nothing happens. Can anyone help? Thanks |

Do you have a dedicated numeric keypad? The numlock system may be
interfering with Word's interpretation of the ALT function. You should still be able to insert symbols with the symbol command. On Dec 8, 9:33*pm, Isi wrote: I have an IBM laptop with XP and MS Office PRO. If I press ALT + numeric code, nothing happens. Can anyone help? Thanks |

The Alt+code only works on the Numeric Keypad. So to do this on a laptop
that doesn't have a NumPad, you need to toggle on the Num Lock, then press Alt plus the numbers from the alternative notebook NumPad layout. Very awkward to use. It will probably be just as quick to use the insert Symbols dialog or learn the standard keyboard shortcuts or create your own assignments and AutoCorrect. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Isi" wrote in message ...
