copywrite is Alt+0169, it's in the normal Word character set, on insert symbol. there is an r in a circle as well (Alt+0174), but no p that i can see from here, soz like...

you can get these from system fonts sets by going to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map (if you're on a PC)

Oh yeah, there's little c.

no little p though... Not on Ariel anyhow...

there's a p in a circle on webdings, don't know how to get it though.

On a mac, use option-g for the copyright symbol.
For the phonograph symbol you need to get a font which has it, and I don't know that any standard fonts do.

Webdings. Brilliant. Thanks.

How the fuck does the alt thing work? In Word? Tell me, key by key, how you press them. Please?

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

In Word I just use the Insert/Symbol option from the menu, or for the copyright symbol just type (c) and it completes it for you. I can't get the Alt thing to work either.

You have to use the number pad, rather than the top row numbers, I think.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

(ie. you hold down ALT, type the relevant number on the number keypad, then let go of ALT. Think that's right but I'm not on a PC at the moment)

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

That did work! Thanks Nick.

(I knew about (c) working too, but I'm all for learning about old skool codes)

the circle-performance thing isn't in normal fonts - it is in extended/unicode fonts, such as Lucida Grande on OSX macs. webdings is microsoft's font to render the extended characters that can/should be shown on web-pages but that are not found in ordinary fonts.

just saying like

ten months pass...

What do you call that thing that's like a full stop/period, but bigger and sits halfway up?

How do I get it?

Help, please!
