Meaning of "mlrd"

Thanks, Blair, but they do not work for me. I tried it on a Microsoft WORD
document and also on Microsoft Outlook Express -- nothing happens. In
Outlook Express, (email), there is ping when I old down ALT, that's all.
What computer program do you use? I have MS XP..

Tony:

I used alt 130 for the é.
Hold the alt key down while typing the number.
There is a whole set of codes for accented letters.

alt 128=Ç
alt 129=ü
alt 130=é
alt 131=â
alt 132=ä
alt 133=à
alt 134=å
alt 135=ç
alt 136=ê
alt 137=ë
alt 138=è
alt 139=ï

alt 141=ì
alt 142=Ä
alt 143=Å
alt 144=É
alt 145=æ
alt 146=Æ
alt 147=ô
alt 148=ö
alt 149=ò
alt 150=û
alt 151=ù
alt 152=ÿ

Thanks, Pierre, please send it (when you've had your beauty sleep). The ALT
plus three digits does not work for me. I have Microsoft Windows XP.

Thanks, Pierre, I have already done that. It is too cumbesome. I
would
rather use the code number, and keep the list at my side.


Tony,

If you don't have them, I can send you those code numbers.
But not now : it is 4 am here, time to have some sleep ;-)

Thanks to all of you who sent in suggestions for typing foreign characters
and accents. When I have more time, I hope to find one program that will
work for me.

The correct name for these is "character entities."

The Web Consortium web site at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html has a list of the
more interesting "codes."

N.B. use the numbers, not the names.


Bob

P.S. On my iMac, if I hit the "Option" key and then "e," I get an e with
an
acute accent, like this (assuming you can see it too): é. And there's
actually a key for a grave accent, though again you have to hit the option
key. There are key combinations for virtually any special character you
can
think of, and several I've never seen before -- lots of scientific
symbols,
I presume.

On the Mac in OS X, start "System Preferences", select the "Input Menu"
tab, then check the "Character Palette" check-box. You may wish to check
the boxes for other national/language keyboard layouts while you're
here. Once you've done this a flag or character-palette icon will appear
on the menu bar next to "Help". When you open the character palette from
this icon you can select the character you want to add to your document
from the table. MacOS 9 is similar.

For internet news and email you should send non-ASCII characters using
"MIME quoted printable." In Netscape/Mozilla you do this by editing your
preferences. In Preferences-Mail&Newsgroups-Composition check the box
under "Composing Messages" that says "For messages that contain 8-bit
characters, use 'quoted printable' ..." Other mail and news reader
programs should have something similar.

Hi Tony.

I use XP also. Two little things: make sure you use the numbers on the
keypad and not the ones above the qwertyuiop and also make sure your number
lock is on. I have been using the alt-code (win 95, win 98, win 2000, win
mill) for ages on word, wordperfect, outlook express, outlook, corel,
access, excel, etc. without any problem.

Someone asked whether you had to memorize all those codes. Well, after a
while you find that you only use a dozen or so regularly which quite quickly
stick in your memory. After all these years however, I still have to look
up 'a tilde' (ã) and 'o tilde' (õ) and the upper case 'C cedille' (Ç) for
Portuguese (and French) ... for some reason these three will not stick in
my head.

I hope this helps. If you are doing all this and still cannot get the
accented characters, then I'm as lost as you as to a reason.

I've not had any problems either and have used them for a number of
years now with a number of different word proicessors and browsers. A
printable chart of all (0-255) of them can be found at:

http://www.cdrummond.qc.ca/cegep/inf...iles/ascii.htm

or you can do a web search for the extended ascii character set.

Tony:

I have windows XP (Pro) and Alt 130 works fine for me.

NB Hold down the ALT while you type all 3 numbers.
Release the ALT key LAST.

Tony, thanks for your input. I must have a unique Microsoft XP
Professional. It refuses to accept the input, which is [Press ALT and hold
it down] and the 3-numeral code. A menu pops up telling me that the email I
am replying to is in process. I am going to put the computer on eBay; it
may well pay for the world cruise-- it is unique.

Just one last try, Tony, a four digit alt code. Try these four alt codes
and see if they work:
alt 0231 = lower-case c cedille (ç)
alt 0199 = upper-case C cedille (Ç)
alt 0241 = lower-case n tilde (ñ)
alt 0209 = upper-case N tilde (Ñ)

If these work for you then make a shortcut to "character map" and use its
4-digit coding in the bottom right corner. I have the character map on my
start-up folder.
On my machine the url is c:\windows\system32\charmap.exe.
I hope THIS helps. %-(

Tony, further to my earlier email, the charmap is in the WORD files, under
symbols. But it is very cumbersome to use. I have been using it, copying
each symbol I need, and pasting them on the document I am working on, to be
picked as required, and then not forgetting to erase them before sending the
document. The best method is one that uses the alt xxx system, if I can
only make it work in a WORD document. thanks again, Tony
