Can anyone tell me how to access keyboard symbols like 'copyright' and 'trademark' etc ? ? In the 'Idiot's Guide' book for Windows 98 it says to hold down the 'Alt' key and type in a 4 digit code on your numeric pad. Does anyone know the codes for the above symbols, or if there is an alternative way to access them ? ? Thanks.

Start > Run > charmap Or you can look for Character Map under some folder on the Start Menu. Make sure the font is not something like Wingdings. © is Alt+0169 and ™ is Alt+0153

I have also seen a program or website that describes the ability to insert into text documents, email, etc. emoticons that are made graphically: i.e., a real happy face rather than one constructed from keyboard strokes. (Graphically's the wrong word.) If I haven't lost you yet, do you know where I can find those and other pre-constructed emoticons? Thanks.

Character Map\Windings has a few 'smileys' but they're not particularly good and you have to Copy\Paste - no Keyboard Shortcut Key Lesley
