Question Symbols w/keypad
Is there a place that has a list & key pad for symbols? Example: for...........é is hold down alt, then on the number pad 0-2-3-3 then let up the alt key. I am looking for the symbol of the musical note .....I did it one time, but can't remember.
Thanks..........my Windows ME is stll working fine,,,knock on wood!!

Click Start->Run, type 'charmap' without quotes, and hit OK. That's the list of all the characters.

You may not have character map installed.

So go to add/remove and open it up and then to the windows setup tap and look in there for it and put a check mark by it and ok your way out. May have to reboot your PC after you do so.
