MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / July 2006Ascii symbols
Hi there I got in troubles when I use Excel in my laptop because I have to translate sometimes from English to Spanish so I need these symbols (á é í ó ú) but when I try to use with the Alt+Fn+161 for example it doesn't work, sometimes takes me to the colum M or shows a double cell . Does any body know how I can make to get these symbols? Thanks PERCY Percy Wrote: > Hi there I got in troubles when I use Excel in my laptop because I have > to [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > PERCY One way would be to go Insert -> Symbol.... Scott  SignatureMaistrye Percy Just use ALT + 0225................no Fn key. 0233 0237 0243 0250 Make sure you use the numpad when entering the numbers.

This is what works for my Dell Inspiron: *Don't* use the numbers under the function keys. There are numbers in the middle of the qwerty keyboard, *over* some of the letters. Use those *AFTER* you "find" and toggle the numlock key (I'm doing this from memory, not at home now), so that you enable *those* qwerty numbers, and you see Num displayed in the XL status bar. Now, find the Fn (function) key (right of the left Ctrl key). NOW hold <Alt> and <Fn> and use those qwerty enabled numbers. This *does not* work on my daughter's IBM! Don't remember what she has to do to make this happen.

Nor the use of the Fn key. Gord >Hey Gord, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Don't remember what she has to do to make this happen. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP
