Glossy Ann

If you want to do fancy letters eg: *~~¤ Þeŗ§eþhðŋě ¤~~*

Go to Microsoft word and on the top tool bar where it says File, Edit, View, Insert etc Go to insert and click on symbol, make up what you want and then copy/paste on here. GR won't accept them all but will do quite a few.


Cheers Perse

Thanks for the link Janey, that's very useful.
I always had to go into character map and then I pasted the most used in a word doc to cut and paste when needed.

Much appreciated,
Regards,
Mayfield

Oh, SueMaid, far cleverer, shirley!

I haven't learned that trick yet. ;)

You others -- Windows 7 is the devil's work and I know nought about it. I googled and all I found is something I think you have to buy

Yes I am Janey. Also tried some of the accent ones on that site you gae and nothing happened there either. Could it be anything to do with windows 7 do you think? This is a microsoft keyboard.

Are you holding down the alt key while you type the 1, Ann?

Trish -- I just copied and pasted that list of hearts and diamonds etc. from the website. ;) Or should I say: ☺


Uzzi already had the alt 15-s -- ☼ !
