	Not sure why Alt+ 0189 doesn't work for me. I am Windows 7, all I get is a little box saying type equation here!

	Some will work and some will not - you can also use HTML codes in a similar way. Type Alt &# plus the two or three digit number without a space will have the same result

	AnninGlos - are you using the number keypad - it won't work if you use the numbers across the top of your keyboard.

	are you holding down the Alt key as you type the number in and then releasing it once the whole number is typed?

	Also, make sure that Num Lock is on - there should be a key for this by the number keypad and it may light up or there may be a light elsewhere on your keyboard

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	It took me ages to find the plus-minus sign and the division sign computer keyboards are useless for lots of symbols that we used to be able to make up with typewriters! I used to work in engineering drafting, we hated it when computers came back from the typists... had to go through reports & doctor them! I've had a play with some of the codes I listed.... some of them don't give the symbol I thought they would. Grrrrrrrr As I said........ it's been a while since I've used them :-D I hope nobody was injured when they flew out on the ejector seat
