Okay, how did you do that?

Finally, someone can answer Nap's question. I'm curious about that too. How do you produce the musical note?

However Shoe does it, it doesn't work on my Mac.

On the other hand, it's quite easy to do º for temp. degree!

Terry, did I say thank you for the * lesson? Thank you.

Maybe this should not be asked here, but better asked elsewhere. But what do you guys (Terry, Dave, etc) do....read every post that comes along? That would be a daunting task. You folks just pop in everywhere.

You mean like this? ♫

I only know one way, which is long and it involves Microsoft Word. Maybe someone else knows a shortcut? (Shoe?)

1. Open a document and type the following 4 character code: 266b
2. Then press and hold down the ALT key while typing the letter x key, and release them both. This should make that cute lil double-note character in your Word document.
3. Cut and paste that cute lil character into the DG reply box. ☺

Phew!

I don't see a way to do the degree.

Hehehe....at this point in time, it is now 62º outside, 73º inside...

Inside it is well-lit! Outside it is dark. I'm not afraid of the dark...know why? Cus...

♫ I whistle a happy tune! And hold my head up high....♫...

i'm still looking for the musical note. debi

Is that a black eye, Shoe? lol

Hehehe! That's the black eye ya'll are gonna give me if I keep teasing ya'll!

I luv it! Grinnin' here!

On a Mac, the degree symbol is simply holdng down the "option" key (kind of like the "control" key on a PC) and typing the numeral "0" after the temp.

I think it's more complicated on a PC...

I can't do it either, debi. And I can't do degree. Or any other little cute symbols either!!!

Nope it is super easy on a PC

shift + 8

tra la laa laa

If I was going to try and do the music note, or another symbol not on my keyboard, I would open up word, insert symbol, then cut and paste it. My dh could make a macro or whatever on my keyboard then so it would be easier. I don't have word on my laptop and I'm too lazy to go upstairs, so I will test that theory later. For now, I can just cut n paste Shoe's ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Zuzu, I had so hoped you wouldn't see me out of my sweetie costume, please let's keep this between us?

shift + 8 gives me this: *
Option + 8 gives me this: •

Getting ready to head up to the house, Folks! However,...

...on a Windows PC...for degree symbol, try holding down the ALT key and hitting 167 on your number pad. (Must be the number pad, not the row of numbers at the top of your keyboard.) Then release the ALT key.

Give it a try. I'll wait a few minutes. :>)

Darius, all you need to add now is )

clown face, lol

mg

On a PC, as I recall, it's ctrl+shift+equals sign to do superscript. After that, you type an "o" and it ends up half a line above. Then you have to do the ctrl+shift+equals sign again to end the superscript. Yes, Debi and Max, I do know how to type an equals sign, but that turned the whole thing into a confusing formula.

It's now 39º here.

Wow, it works! Thanks Shoe!

♫ YAY!!!♫

º I did it!!! You're wonderful!

Your secret's safe with me, Rachel.

Darius and Shoe, I thought you had gone off the deep end when you kept using an epsilon for the degree sign, but then I realized my encoding was still switched to Cyrillic.

I don't have a number pad on here, thanks Shoe, I didn't know why I couldn't get my ascii codes to work!

Rachel

i hear that there is some ridiculous site called smileytown where you can download this stuff, but i'm afraid it would be "pop-up" heaven and possibly worse for your pc! i think i will stick to trying to make faces. (*^*)

TF, when I type "266b" (or anything else) I get just that. Alt+X won't change anything. I'm confused (again, as usual).

Yay! I sometimes forget it and have to keep a scrap piece of paper taped to my monitor! Congrats, Joan.

Another one I like is ¢ ! (ALT 155) as in...

Oh, scratch my whole post about ctrl,shift, equals sign. You can only do that in MS-word.

Ulrich, didn't you start this thread because your eyes were hurting? good grief, your eyes must be killing ya now! LOL debi

I can sleep tonight! Thank you Shoe and others!

Ulrich, I had to resort to using Microsoft Word to create the character. Kewl thread, BTW. lol

Oh, Scooterbug, what a wealth of information that is! I have to copy that and print it out. Thanks.

It's 15 pages!

Oh wait, that's the whole thread!

Ulrich, check out Alt+0223.

It's only 4 pages if you copy it and move it to Netscape composer.

what is that obscene little german sign? ALT+0223

obscene? ROFLOL

I expected to see something obscene, because Nap's post somehow conveyed the spirit of a whisper from the depths of a dark alley: "Pssst. Wanna see somethin' really cool?" (I was gravely disappointed when I saw what it really was.)

nap, I know, here is the whole shebang: http://www.jbase.com/knowledgebase/manuals/3.0/30manpages/man/AsciiChart.htm
Hold down Alt while typing 0 plus the ASCII code.

TF, I was talking MS Word. How do you "create" there?

Edited to add 'ß' which is just like a double 's'. I never could figure out why.
