RE: How To Use the Character Map

You can find the Character Map in Windows 95 under the Start Menu, Programs, then Accessories.

In the newer computers go to:

Start Menu, Programs, Accessories and then System Tools.

The Character Map screen looks like this:


As you can see on the screen, in the Font selector I have Arial.

Click on the character you want. I clicked on the © Copyright symbol

Next click on the Select button and then the Copy character button.

Once you have copied the character to the clipboard, you can go to your document or email that you want it in and choose Paste from the Edit menu to insert the character.

Here's another way to do this:  Notice in the lower right corner where it shows the Shortcut keystroke for the © is 0169. You can type the character directly into your document by using the ALT key plus the numbers to create the character. Make sure the Num Lock is on and then you hold down the ALT key and at the same time type the 0169 for the © character. ALT+0169= ©

Note: You must use the number key pad to the right of the keyboard, not the numbers at the top of the keyboard!
