I am looking for a list of shortcut number keys for symbols. I have
heard that you can do aLT and then a number and it will bring up the
symbols. does anyone know where to find one?
Go to
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm and look at the
section "Direct keypad entry" about halfway down. This is not a list, but a
method of finding the numbers.
The following macro will print a list of the "upper ASCII" symbols in the
default font defined in the Normal style, usually Times New Roman:
Sub ListSymbolNumbers()
Dim oDoc As Document
Dim Code As Integer
Set oDoc = Documents.Add
oDoc.Tables.Add Range:=oDoc.Range, _
numrows:=129, numcolumns:=3
With oDoc.Tables(1)
.Cell(1, 1).Range.Text = "Character"
.Cell(1, 2).Range.Text = "Decimal"
.Cell(1, 3).Range.Text = "Hexadecimal"
.Rows(1).Range.Bold = True
.Rows(1).HeadingFormat = True
For Code = 128 To 255
.Cell(Code - 126, 1).Range.Text = Chr$(Code)
.Cell(Code - 126, 2).Range.Text = _
Format(Code, "0###")
.Cell(Code - 126, 3).Range.Text = Hex(Code)
Next Code
End With
oDoc.Save
Set oDoc = Nothing
End Sub
