Thanks all. I was aware of Alt-codes, but was hoping that MLO had a macro or progammable key combination that might work, so I do not have to memorize several 4 digit numbers, and which letter keys can be used for numbers. Also, one of my laptops does not support Alnat-codes at all. Right now I just have the symbols inserted in the Inbox title so I can copy and paste them. Steph: I was specifically needing this for the title names of tasks (where markup does not work), not the notes field. Cheers, Grant
