(1) How to Use the "Insert" Function:
In many Windows programs (including Word, Publisher and FrontPage), there's an e
asy way to insert symbols for copyright, trademark, cents and French, German and
Spanish accents.
On the top of the screen of your open Word (Publisher/FrontPage) document, you'l
l see the headings: File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, etc. Click on "Insert" and
on the drop-down list, click on "Symbol." A symbol box will pop up. Click on th
e symbol you want to insert into your text, then click on the insert button and
close the box.

(2) How to Use the "Character Map" in Windows:
Another method is to use the "Character Map" to copy and paste the required symb
ols. In Windows (XP) you'll find the Character Map by clicking on the Windows St
art Menu, then All Programs, then Accessories, System Tools and Character Map. T
he Character Map box pops up.
Choose the font you wish to use from the drop-down menu at the top. Place your c
urser where you'd like to insert the symbol, click on the symbol you wish to ins
ert, click on the Select Button, then the Copy Button and then paste the symbol
onto your page (using Edit, Paste or the "Control v" shortcut). You'll also see
the Alt Key shortcut at the bottom of the Character Map, for future reference.

(3) How to Make Keyboard Symbols with the "Alt" Key and Numeric Keypad:
Another way is to use the "Alt" key and numbers - making sure to use your numeri
c keypad, not the numbers on the top of the keyboard. NumLock needs to be ON. (I
f you don't have a numeric keypad on your computer keyboard, you can still use t
he insert function - see above.)
Using the numeric keypad, hold down the Alt key, hit the Zero key and then three
additional numbers in succession. For example for Copyright, hold down Alt, pre
ss the number 0, then press the numbers 1, 6, 9. Then you can let up the Alt key
.
The basic symbols below will work with most text fonts.
Copyright () is Alt, 0, 1, 6, 9
Trademark ( ) is Alt, 0, 1, 5, 3
Registered () is Alt, 0, 1, 7, 4

Pound () is Alt 0, 1, 6, 3
