"William Graham" ponders:
Which reminds me: How do you get those accent marks (umlauts and upside down question marks and the like) to appear over and under your letters....Is there a list of control characters somewhere that I can use for this? Go to Start Programs Accessories System Tools Character Map Click on the character that you want and its "key" will appear. C cedilla is Alt + 0231 ç. The cent sign is Alt + 0162 ¢. That is, depress the "Alt" key and type "0231." These characters may not appear properly in all newsreaders. If you use special characters frequently, they may be programmed as "hot keys." Special fonts are also available. I use one for statisticians that has numerous mathematical symbols available on the keyboard. -- Don |

As long as I've got your attention, maybe you can help me with something else....I almost always, when typing, hit the ; key instead of the ' key, which is just one key to the right. This means that contractions, like don't come out don;t, so I have to go over my text in order to correct all these. Is it possible to get both these keys to give me a ' ? Or, is there a way to change ; to ' in all? TIA. |

I do know that there are programs for this that will, for instance, install an alternative to the QWERTY keyboard layout. So I asked the experts. http://tinyurl.com/2e6av9 -- Don |

This appears to be more what you're looking for, William. http://www.programurl.com/software/keyboard-keys.htm -- Don It sure is....Thanks.....I will turn my semi-colon key into an apostrophe key, and make one of the function keys a semicolon key. Then I won't have any "don;ts" anymore......If they were easily correctable with the built-in spell checker, it wouldn't be so bad, but they aren't. I have to abort the spell check, and go back to the text and correct it there, which is a royal PITA! |
