Hi Joel,
I read all the responses on this list, but when Dian's post reached
me I had already sent my email. The Web has those vagaries <G>
Use the "Find" dialog, and enter the character codes on the
appropriate box either by using the numeric pad on the keyboard or by
using the Character Map utility provided by Windows. I presumed James
already knew this.
