You must use the numbers on the number keypad (with NUMLOCK on). The numbers at the top of the keyboard don't work. You can also get the codes from the Character Map program which is part of Windows 95 and up. Start > Programs > Accessories > Character Map The Keystrokes are shown in the bottom right hand corner. Hope this is useful, Chris Perry Corporate Systems CoOrdinator Parks Victoria Level 13 / 535 Bourke Street Melbourne Vic 3000 Australia Ph: 61 3 8627 4600 Fax: 61 3 9619 0700 -----Original Message----- From: Bill and Lorraine Donaldson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 23 May 2001 12:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Neat little trick to add specialised characters to MapInfo Here is a neat little trick someone showed me today. You can use superscripts (and other specialised characters) in Browser Windows when aliasing a column name. You can also enter these on a Layout Window. For example, to have a column named Area km�, you hold down the ALT key while typing the number 0178. Some other ALT-Codes you can try are: Cubed symbol � ALT 0179 Degree symbol � ALT 0176 Copyright symbol � ALT 0169 Plus minus symbol � ALT 0177 There is a whole multitude that I won't type out, but if you have Corel, look in the back of the manual for the listing. Regards, Bill PS. Note that if you save the results of a query that uses the above aliasing technique, the next time the table is opened, that column will be called COLx (where x is the column number). To permanently change it to say Area km�, go to Table > Maintenance > Table Structure and rename the field (remembering that spaces are not allowed), so your column becomes Area_km� _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body. ********************************************************************** This message and any files transmitted with it are intended only for the addressee.
