********Here, I'm typing from the above: (why are there 2 different sets of numbers/codes?) ::

(O.K., nothing's happening - I hold down ALT and type the numbers? Nothing here.

1. So all the diacritical marks posted here without being coded-in, just Copy/Paste.

So are the codes for typing text into e-mail and documents?

ON EDIT: So the codes don't work in my e-mail either, just the Copy/Paste deal.

3. I remember that...

...ALT codes only work from the numeric keypad. I could be wrong.

[UTUSN]

5. u r correct. keypad is what the instructions say. which

I don't have. Copy paste is fine thx.

6. But you could

7. OMZ, there's a gadget for *everything*!1 But since Copy/Paste works in email & DU

I won't need to go to the trouble of the numbers (looking up all those numbers and motor-coordinating ALT at the same time). Thanks!1

9. There's also the Windows character map

In the Start menu under Accessories>>System Tools>>Character Map or...

...from the run dialog which you can open via the Windows key simultaneous with R, which is referred to as Win+R.
From the run dialog type charmap and press the Enter key.

The character map looks like this:


A few other useful hot key shortcuts:
Win+E opens the Windows File Explorer
Win+L locks your screen

10. Holy *Zeus* you are just chock full of ideas/options!1 Thanks again (& again & again)!1 n/t

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

11. Your welcome (squared or cubed as appropriate)

Someone else here is chock full of the other keyboard shortcuts but those I posted and Ctrl+Shift+Escape are the only ones I use much. Being annoyed, stymied and frustracted (frustrated for a protracted time period) by Windows can lead to all sorts of information that's useful 3-4 times in each decade.

4. "So the codes don't work..." Read the help files for whatever software you are using,

see what their directions are for inerting those characters. It may be different than you expect.

And there may be 2 or 3 ways.

2. Seems to work for me.

Seems to work for me using the alt+ codes.
Win7, FF 43.0.4, "latin" fonts, "default for current locale" as the text code page.

The text code page would be the first thing I would check.

8. But are you using the numeric keypad (that I don't have)? n/t

[ManiacJoe]

12. Yes, the keypad.

Good catch. The alt+ codes work only with the numeric keypad.
