Hi all,
The copyright symbol
© is alt-0169 (alt key zero one six nine)
The registered symbol
® is alt-0174 (alt key zero one seven four)
Remember you must use the numeric keypad to type in the numbers,
or this doesn't work.
I don't know if a screen reader can interpret the following
correctly so it is even usable if you're blind, but on a windows
system you can reach a utility called the "Character Map" that is
built into every Windows system. It lists every ascii letter and
symbol and its keyboard equivalent in a table, and you can even
copy the symbols from this table into any program on a Windows
system.
On a Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems you reach the Character
Map by clicking the Start button, then clicking Programs, then
clicking Accessories, and then clicking System Tools, then
clicking Character Map.
On a Vista system you reach the Character map by clicking the
Start button, then clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories,
clicking System Tools, and then clicking Character Map.
On a Windows 7 system you reach the Character map by clicking the
Start button and then in the search box, type Character Map, and
then, in the list of results, click Character Map.
Alternatively, I think on all windows system you can click on the
start menu, chose the run option and in the run dialog box type:
charmap.exe - but I'm not positive about this one.
Also, in Microsoft Word, it is under the "tools" "autocorrect"
menu where the option is set to turn use of a left parentheses
followed by a letter c into a copyright symbol and a left
parentheses followed by the letter r into the registered symbol.
It is set to do this by default.
Hope this helps. smile

In terms of working within word to produce certain things, I
am pretty sure the execution of those 2 symbols (for copy
right and registered trademark) have to do with auto spelling,
but someone else, possibly Mayrie, will correct me if I am
wrong. I know that with the settings I have set him both my
neck and my PC it executes it encircled as opposed to having
parenthesis on either side of the letter.
