    Using the Codes


    Windows assigns a numeric code to different accented letters, other foreign characters and special mathematical symbols. For instance the code for lower case is 0225, and the code for capital is 0193. The ALT key input is used to manually insert these letters and symbols by calling the numeric code assigned to them. To use the codes: 1. Place your cursor in the location where you wish to insert a special character. 2. Activate the numeric key pad on the right of the keyboard by pressing Num Lock (upper right of keyboard). The Num Lock light on the keyboard will indicate that the numeric key pad is on. NOTE: You must use the numeric key pad; if you use the number keys on the top of the keyboard, the characters will not appear. If you are on a laptop or computer without a separate numeric keypad one of the other methods is recommended. 3. While pressing down the ALT key, type the four-digit code on the numeric key pad at the right edge of the keyboard. The codes are "case sensitive." For instance, the code for lower-case is ALT+0225, but capital is ALT+0193. NOTE: If you have the International keyboard activated, you will only be able to input codes with the ALT key on the left side of the keyboard. 4. Release the ALT key. The character will appear when the ALT key is released. NOTE: You must include the initial zero in the code. For example to insert (0225) you must type ALT+0225, NOT ALT+225.
