Three
of the many ways to insert symbols:
(1) Although some marks
and symbols appear on the keyboard, in Word,
PowerPoint,
and Publisher many other symbols can be inserted
with the INSERT | SYMBOL command.
(2) A second way to
locate useful symbols and characters, particularly to insert in
Excel
and Access, is to use Windows' Character Map.
(If it does not appear under ACCESSORIES | SYSTEM TOOLS, you will need
to install it.)
(3) Another way of
accessing some symbols in Office programs is with the ALT key. Hold
down the ALT key and press the number. When you release the ALT key,
the mark will appear. This list includes the most-used symbols.
