Windows assigns a numeric code to different accented
letters, other characters and special mathematical symbols. For
instance, the code for lower case á is 0225, and the code for
upper case Á 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. 3. While
pressing down the ALT key, type the four-digit code on the numeric key pad at the right edge of the keyboard. 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
á (0225), you must type "ALT + 0225", NOT "ALT + 225". Top of Page
