And you are also able to get the accent marks for French and German (for instance) names, etc. Cheers, Nandina ----- Original Message ----- From: Denise McMahon <helendmc@powerup.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 9:39 AM Subject: Re: [AVNE] Gold and the price thereof. > I am sure the listowner will put up with us in this thread.

Peter listowner Can we list the emulets and short cuts for various letters and numbers - I have a short list of French/German things I can do now. If you prefer then people can contact me privately. I have not yet unearthed my list of things like pound signs etc etc. Denise

Hi all - to cut the thread, which we have acknowledged as almost OT - Alt + 128 up to Alt + 168 is the range of characters associated with most communication styles - language accents, abbreviations (degrees). I put these into a Word doc and keep it by my computer - that is the shortcut for me which works best.
