This is done automagically if you use MS Office. If you just use OE then you have to add the HTML codes for the proper Wingding or select the Wingding font and type a number corresponding to the proper Wingding. For example, see http://www.nextek.net/appalachianman/wingdings.html NOTE: You must have Wingding fonts installed. In OE, select New Message Click Format, select Rich Text (HTML) Scroll through Font selection box (at left beneath Subject) to see if Wingdings are available. If so, select them. Press and hold the ALT key and type the corresponding number on the keypad. Make sure CAPS, NUM and SCROLL locks are off. For example, to get a telephone hold ALT key and type 040 on the keypad. Highlight it and change font to say 36 for a big telephone. A list of numeric values and the Wingding can be found in many places on the net. For one, see http://www.dakota.net/~garth/font/wingding.htm I made a web page containing all of them that I can easily look at. You might do the same. NOTE: Watch out who you send HTML e-mail to. I don't want it and neither does this list. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
