Alt Symbols

In my mind I would think that most people already know of this "trick", but seeing as this was new to most of my friends I will talk about it.  There is a very easy way to make symbols on your computer without having to go through menus in programs and inserting them.  Although unless you have a photographic memory you will probably have to look the symbol code up for awhile before you memorize it.  The first thing that is vital for this to work is to have your Number Lock on.  If that isn't on, nothing will happen.  Next all you have to do it enter any of these numbers, after pushing and holding Alt of course, and then when you let go of the Alt key, the symbol related to that code will show up where you are typing.  You can find the codes by Googling "alt symbols" (I bold that because of all of the hype about Bing, I stand by Google.  I personally don't think Bing is all that good, and I am a supporter of Microsoft, at least over Apple.  There really is not much new with Bing other than the look.  But even that hasn't changed much from its earlier version known as Windows Live Search)  or you can click on this link to my favorite "Alt Symbols Site".  http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/altchrc.html  Have fun souping up your text. ☺
