This is the third time I have tried to get my words together so they make some semblance of sense. Every memory position in the computer is capable of storing 1 character of data. Each memory position is composed of two digits. Depending on the numbering scheme used by the architecture of the computer the value of each of the digits can be from 0 to the hexadecimal character f. Each of the values from 00 to ff has some particular character, number or symbol associated with it. 00 is usually considered a 'null' or valueless character. If you ask for the ANSI value of 'a' you will find it is 97, 'b' is 98 and so on up the alphabet. Notice that the small letter 'a' (97) has a different value than does the capital letter 'A' which is 65 The value of the numeric character '1' is 49 and, to further confuse the issue, the value of the character '0' is 40. Ever wonder how the computer is able to do a sort? It is simply arranging data in the ascending or descending value of the memory locations it was instructed to arrange. A great number of the possible values have no recognizable visual representation associated with them and do not show up. If something is really haywire and you can't see the problem you could ask JAWS to tell you the absolute value of that character and it might give you a real hint as to what the problem might be. Some of the possible characters have a universal value which everyone a long time ago agreed will cause the computer to do a particular thing. These characters are not viewable and you have no idea why the data suddenly quit until you determine the absolute value and discover that the last character you saw was the 'end of data' character which told the computer to quit transmitting or storing data for that record. Okay, someone else take it from here.

I tried it this morning and now, it works. Sorry about that! Someone asked: "What's ANSI value?" Correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's the ASCII number.

I now use Word XP and was surprised at getting the ANSI character set on pressing the '5' key three times.
