Thank you. It would be the left ALT key. That happens to be the only key on the keyboard broken. Now I wish my keyboard would hurry up and get here. Thanks.

Possible? Hi, try pressing ALT 0186 (must be the leftside ALT key); thats the code for the =BA symbol.

However, I've only used this numberic code in Publisher and was quite a few years ago so don't even know where to find the list. I just bring this up in case it jogs someone else's memory about this list. The following message was sent by "Robert Carneal" <carnealre@xxxxxxxxxxxx> on Fri, 13 May 2005 14:11:11 -0500. Is it possible to enter a degree symbol in the fields, and ALSO make it stick? In a field I have, I would like to enter: At time of accident temperature was 17 F. (The lowercase oh is where I have been trying to enter the degree symbol. I hope it comes out here. Instead, it comes out boxy for me. I went to Word's insert symbol window, select the character I wanted, copied, but it will not paste correctly so far. Thanks.
