I think you can use auto correct to put in the registered symbol when you
type (r) I believe you can do the same for copyright symbol with (c). Check
out Tools/Auto Correct.

alt+33 for the exclamation point.
Ultimately I'm trying to insert the registered symbol: the r with a circle

I posted a similar query in another Word group, and it appears the
ultimate issue was that I was on a laptop that does funky things
with the numeric keypad. Are you on a laptop?

And if not, did you try Alt-0033 on the numeric keypad? I believe
you need four digits for this to work (though I could be wrong).

Yes, I am using a laptop.
I'll have to try my desktop.

Thanks for the ideas.
