It's fairly simple. I hold down the 'Alt' key and type the numbers over at the calculator part on the right of the keyboard.

You can also get ? by Alt o128, ¢ by Alt 0162 and Þ by Alt 0222.

You're welcome Derek. One other: £ by Alt 0163. Comes in handy when talking to the UK. :)

Bill: I'm an unashamed Mac dude who has to use a PC at the church where I work. Is there a keystroke on the PC for an m-dash? Thanks. Pip Moss I used to feel cheap 'cause I had no signature.

I guess that it the "Umlaut" option differs with what keyboard Layout you are using, on some European layouts they are there, on my Danish layout it's a "press before the letter" option, and Shift gives this hat ^ while ~ comes from AltGr..... But then I also have æ Æ ø Ø å Å that are absent in many other layots.

Y'know, I should remember what an m-dash is. I used to work in printing.

Try Alt 151. Don't have a PC, but that's what's listed in my HTML book.

It's a long dash--like twice the length of a hyphen--that you'd use in place of the hyphens I just used.

I'll try alt-151. Thanks, Mark
