insert all foreign characters using number pad +?
I used to be able to type all foreign characters using a combination of keys
- control or alt or similar(can't remember) plus several numbers. It doesn't seem to work any more. Any ideas please? -- Thanks, Chirpy |

insert all foreign characters using number pad +?
Hold down the Alt Key and type the number on the numeric keypad.
Running the following macro will produce a table showing you what is inserted with each number combination: ' Macro created 12-08-98 by Doug Robbins to list symbols that can be inserted via Alt+keypad ' ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=1, NumColumns:=3 Selection.TypeText Text:="Alt + Numeric Keypad" Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.TypeText Text:="Normal Font" Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.TypeText Text:="Symbol Font" Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Symbol = 33 While Symbol 256 Selection.TypeText Text:="0" & LTrim$(Str$(Symbol)) Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell With Selection .InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Normal", Unicode:=False End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell With Selection .InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Symbol", Unicode:=False End With Symbol = Symbol + 1 Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Wend End Sub -- Hope this helps.
