Doug,
Thanks for your reply but I have no idea re macros and would not have a clue on how to do as you suggest. I have an idea that I came across the site with these codes but after doing a Google I couldn't find it again.searc "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Run the following macro ' 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 -- Hope this helps.

You can't easily download them all and, depending on your setup, many of
them may not display on your computer - or may not display in all fonts. You can use Alt + any number which is the decimal equivalent of a unicode code point. See http://www.unicode.org/charts/ for a complete listing of all standard ones but note that the charts there give code points in hexadecimal so you will need to convert them to decimal to use with Alt and the numeric keypad (if you have a recent version of Word you can type the hex value and then press Alt+X to convert it to a character as an alternative method of input). Note that certain code points are reserved for private use and do not have fixed characters - the various symbols in the Symbol, Wingdings, etc. fonts fall into this category. Although I suspect it won't concern you, note also that some (Far East) characters require two code points - so called surrogate pairs. -- Enjoy, Tony Jollans Microsoft Word MVP "chequer" wrote in message ...

Alt Plus codes
Tony,
Thanks for your help. It's all confusing to me. I definitely came across a list of ALT + 4 numeric key numbers somewhere. I'm not that worried about them as the most common one I use a Bake at 145º, Latitude -23º 46" Instead of trying to remember the ALT numbers I have used the Word ' Auto correct ' option and type (d) to print º the degree symbol and (lb) for £ symbol I visited the site and looked at the PDF file but that too, was confusing to me.

There are built-in keyboard shortcuts for most of the most-used special
characters. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Jay,
I'll look at the site. I use Imperial measure that requires fraction of an inch, ie. 14' 7 and 11/64" The only way I have found out how to print all fractions is to create them using this method: 1. Type the fraction ie. 5/16 2. Highlight the numerator 3. Press Ctrl+Shift+ =, this superscripts the numerator 4. Highlight the denominator 5. Press Ctrl + =, this subscripts the denominator 6. To return to normal CTRL + Spacebar I then use Auto correct and type (11/64) for 11 64ths. This will only work in Word, or at least I think so, In Excel even if I format the cells as "General " it thinks it is a date' It won't work in this reply either.
