As my posted informational link mentions:
"Don't forget to check that this pad is activated (use the NumLock key)!" As for the accuracy of my posts, I believe them to be quite accurate overall. A MVP award is based on sharing accurate information, though no person can claim 100% accuracy with every post. Yes, I do make errors occasionally, but not intentionally. Wish I never took that speed-reading course in college and I also had better vision! -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!

Protect Your PC! http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...tect/default.a spx It is painfully obvious that receiving and maintaining MVP status is based on quantity and not quality. You are living proof. There are MVPs who consistently provide accurate and concise information and my hat is off to them. But if I were one of them, I wouldn't want to belong to a club that had you as a member. BTW, the link you provided refers (as did your original response) to the numeric keypad on a standard keyboard. |

Just pointing out the fact that your post was in error and frivolous. It has nothing to do with the response that Carey gave.

You were really stretching on this post to make your meaningless point which has nothing to do with this thread. If you are intent on harassing or correcting someone, you need to make sure that 'you' are completely correct before hitting that Send button, otherwise, it simply makes you look foolish as well as obvious that this is a personal attack and has nothing to do with your concern that the OP is getting the correct information. As far as what it takes to maintain the MVP title, Carey's record speaks for itself. Go to the following website: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...blic.windowsxp Select the "Search only in microsoft.public.windowsxp.*" radio button and type in the search keywords: "thank" "carey" (Including the quotation marks) and see what you come up with (Note the number of results). This is the important information, not your opinion. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User |

I don't think that I would be able to post a list nearly as long for any other MVP. The fact is that Carey's posts are often the result of ignorance, haste, or plain disregard for getting it right. |

"monteiro41" wrote in message ... I have a Dell Inspiron 600,windows XP.When Ipress alt and 164 I get a tone and no response..In my other computer,a windows millenium,I would the letter ñ with that method..Please help me..Thank you -- Make windows user friendly The application you are using may make Windows friendly. If your application supports unicode character insertion, you could use the applications procedure for unicode insertion which does not require the numeric keyboard. In Character Map, the ALT+ code is on the lower right, the unicode is on the lower left. If your are using Word 2003 {or other recent Word versions}, you could: Use the unicode insertion Use Insert Symbols Use the keyboard shortcut, if any, provided in Insert Symbols {there is one for your symbol} Use Auto-Correct Options (under Tools) to define an replace with sequence. You could, for example, define (n) be replace with your Spanish letter. Other applications, such as Word Perfect, should have similar choices. Check Help for the application. Don |

Also, if you are typing in Microsoft Word, just use the conventional keyboard and type the numbers 164, then simultaneously press the Alt + X keys and you'll automatically get ñ. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart! Protect Your PC! http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...t/default.aspx In Word ALT+X is for unicode insertion. The OP would need to use the unicode {00F1} for that symbol. Don |
