       How do i get a � or � sign in my document

       The other day someone, cannot remember who, asked "How do i get
       a pound sign into my document as i have a Spanish keyboard"?.
       Well here's the answer, plus a load more that that you might
       find useful.
       Please note there is a picture in the download version for those
       who are not sure where on the keyboard these keys are located
       Your keyboard may have some different markings or even be a
       different language but the two items you are interested in for
       the purposes of this instruction are the Numeric keys,  on a
       laptop these maybe above the normal Qwerty keys and the ALT key.
       Always bottom left next to the SPACE BAR and marked ALT. Do not
       confuse this with the ALT GR key on the other side of the Space
       Bar, this has other purposes.
       So to enter a � symbol for example hold down the ALT key and
       type 0163 on the numeric keys. As you release the Alt key the
       numbers you typed will disappear and be replaced by the item in
       the list below.
       To get this

       Sorry the layout is a bit screwed up but formatting and aligning
       text inside these forums is always difficult (well for me
       anyway).
       Having read and understood this, your next task, "should you
       choose to accept it Jim" is to find the "Any Key". You remember
       it, the box comes up on the screen and says" Press any key to
       continue"

       It was not I who asked this question, but I�m pleased that
       someone did. Very useful, I have printed it off,  thanks Geoff.

       It works on keyboards with separate numeric keypads easily, it
       works on Laptop when the number keys are integrated into the
       keys 8 9 0 I O P J K L (or which ever they are on your make and
       model of laptop), of course you have to turn the number lock on
       first.
       It does not work when trying to use the numbers keys above the
       qwerty keyboard, so to answer your question it does work on
       qwerty keyboards but only if they have integrated number keys on
       certain letters or a separate numeric keypad.
