Sort of...works the same. In fact, the keyboard code is always shown in the bottom corner of the map. Character map is an accessory connected to my Windows setup, just like Word Pad, Games, etc. It list the Special characters by fonts and you see them to easily find the exact one you need. I usually use it to utilize the Spanish characters, and recently to use some math characters for a spread sheet project. It works fine when I use on ICQ, but not with OE...I have used it here before. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Hays" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 22, 2000 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [OE] Character map : Well ,,,, I guess I am going to have to play dumb here, are you talking : about the special characters that can be inserted into documents by using : the Alt. key + a number on your right numeric key pad ???? : If not, please explain in MUCH more detail what is happening. : Bob Hays : ________________________________________ : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Timothy Braswell" <[email protected]> : To: <[email protected]> : Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 2:49 PM : Subject: [OE] Character map : : : > I have been using my character map for some time, but now it isn't working : > right. : > It works with my ICQ messages, but not my e-mail...what's happened? : > : > Jen in AL : > : > : > ==== OUTLOOK-EXPRESS Mailing List ==== : > To remove your email address from this list, visit this url: : http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cheps/maillist.htm : > : > ============================== : > Get Free Access to over 900 million names from Dec 7 until Dec : 21!http://www.ancestry.com/home/celebrate/freeaccess.htm?sourcecode=736 : > : : : ==== OUTLOOK-EXPRESS Mailing List ==== : To remove your email address from this list, visit this url: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cheps/maillist.htm : : ============================== : The easiest way to stay in touch with your family and friends! : http://www.myfamily.com/banner.asp?ID=RWLIST1 : :
You could try uninstalling the character set and reinstalling. Be aware that using these in OE is very iffy anyhow, just about all the fonts extended characters will work in OE if you are working in a HTML email but not so if working in a Plain Text email. All the characters in the Times New Roman font will work in Plain Text ,,, the Symbol, Wingdings, Webdings & PressWriter Symbols fonts will give you four entirely different sets of characters but will only work in HTML. The morel here is to make sure you are using the correct font when working in Plain Text ,,,,, all the fonts work in HTML. You can test this by creating a "New Mail" and Copy/Paste characters from various fonts and switch the New Mail back and forth between Plain Text & HTML ,,,,,,, you will find out real quick what works and what don't.

Tested...will just give up and trust Pam to know that I, too, majored in Spanish for awhile, but cannot use tildes, etc., when using Spanish words. She lost her list, and Hubby would rather she not use HTML because of the virus risk. What you suggested was right...I could use it with my Word processing programs just fine, but not OE... Oh well, Pam is the only one I tried it with. Thanks, and Merry Christmas! Jennifer S.
