I'm sitting here in my yacht (74.1F inside, 78.6F outside) trying to
figure out your thinking process (or lack thereof), Skippy.

It almost appears dysfunctional. Why, when working on a computer that
contains a program (charmap.exe) that you can run by typing it into
the run menu or from the start menu or even create a shortcut for the
desktop or the task bar, would anybody want a sheet of printed paper
with the alt codes on it?

Open charmap.exe and select any character and it will give the alt
code and other information. Select copy and the character(s) goes to
the clip board hit control + v to insert the special character(s) in
the text you are working on.

Do you ALWAYS do things the hard way?

That was a helpful suggestion.
It even accounts for differences in fonts.



but it would be hard to print out on paper...
