I'm sure many of you use this code for accents. ALT+130 = é Through trial and error, I've found some of them, but sure would appreciate the entire list. Thank you!

Here's a link to MS Word international character shortcuts. Hope that helps.

Hold the Windows key and press R. Type <b>charmap&lt;Enter&gt;</b>

Select a character. Read its code in the lower right-hand corner of the window.

Thank you all very much!!! =D&gt;

Do you want to know why you shouldn't use Alt codes?

Prey tell,Robes

yes, why?

Robes, we're ALL curious now...why not?? Please, please, please tell us!!

Because not all computers generate codes that all browsers render accurately. Have you ever seen a post with question marks where apostrophes should be? Or heiroglyphics instead of quotation marks? That's the effect I'm talking about.

Fortunately, there are HTML standards for inserting special characters, and they reproduce the same on any browser that complies with the standard. Below is a partial list. Note that each code begins with an ampersand <b>&amp;</b> and ends with a semicolon <b>;</b>

&amp;euro;
&amp;pound;
&amp;eacute; &amp;Eacute;
&amp;egrave; &amp;Egrave;
&amp;acirc; &amp;Acirc;
&amp;ccedil; &amp;Ccedil;
&amp;uuml; &amp;Uuml;

I agree with Robespierre (which I do not do, at least half the time).

But Alt+xxx is easier and you can proofread, since it looks like what you intend.

This forum is educational on SO many levels!!!!

rex, by simply previewing the post, the HTML codes can be proofread as readily as the Alt codes.

Thank you. Very timely. My stick on strip of accents just fell off permanently.

Most of this thread is in langusge where I understand each word individually, but..........

sheila, none of this is Black Art. No arcane spells are involved.

If you want to write M&eacute;tro, then type M<b><font color="blue">&amp;eacute;</font></b>tro. That's all.

Holding down 'Alt' and using number pad on right:
('Num Lock' must be on)

&agrave; = 133
&aacute; = 160

&egrave; = 138
&eacute; = 130

&igrave; = 141
&iacute; = 161

&ograve; = 149
&oacute; = 162

&ugrave; = 151
&uacute; = 163

&Agrave; = 0192
&Egrave; = 0200
&Igrave; = 0204
&Ograve; = 0210
&Ugrave; = 0217

Steve:

The link to an earlier thread which I listed above (it's actually a thread which you started) has a more complete list than you cited here.

Copied here, since you gave parts of it in your latest post:

Alt-133 &agrave;
Alt-131 &acirc;
Alt-132 &auml;
Alt-160 &aacute;
Alt-138 &egrave;
Alt-130 &eacute;
Alt-144 &Eacute;
Alt-0200 &Egrave;
Alt-136 &ecirc;
Alt-137 &euml;
140 Alt-&icirc;
Alt-141 &igrave;
Alt-139 &iuml;
Alt-149 &ograve;
Alt-147 &ocirc;
Alt-148 &ouml;
Alt-162 &oacute;
Alt-150 &ucirc;
Alt-151 &ugrave;
Alt-163 &uacute;
Alt-129 &uuml;
Alt-164 &ntilde;
Alt-165 &Ntilde;
Alt-135 &ccedil;
Alt-128 &Ccedil;
Alt-145 &aelig;
Alt-146 &AElig;
Alt-168 ¿
Alt-155 ¢
Alt-156 &pound;
Alt-0254 &thorn;
Alt-0128 &euro;

(made a few minor edits, from its compilation there)...

And holding Alt down and typing these numbers 0128 gives the &euro; symbol

Oops - sorry Rex just spotted your last one
