Hi, did anyone notice if this change of the registry key affects the
behavior of the numeric key pad for other use? i.e. does the normal ALT
sequence for ASCII characters still work?
I noticed no change. The alt keypad keys still work normally-- hold down the
alt key, type the four digit
Press the Alt key and type your Unicode, then release the alt key.

I want to enter some unicode (but non-ANSI) characters into an English
language document (such as primes and double primes-u2032; and u2033;
respectively-being symbols use in specifying latitude and longitude). I'm
stuffed if I can work out how to do this directly in FM.
The only method I'm
Press the Alt key and type your Unicode, then release the alt key.
That only works for the 256 extended ASCII characters for me. How are you
entering the Unicode characters with higher values, such as U+0416? Alt-416
and Alt-0416 both produce characters, but neither are the correct Unicode
Mike,
For U+0416, you normally do alt/0,4,1,6 . I have already heard of such
problems as you describe because of Windows' bad implementation of
Unicode at lower levels. That might be sometimes related to interaction
with a specific font.
Have you tried switching fonts? You might also have a look
It embarasses me to say, this, really it does, but … I looked in the Office
online help!!!
To enter a Unicode character, enter codeALT+X. For instance, to type €, the
Euro symbol, type 20ac then press ALT+X. It works in Office 2007; I don't
know about earlier versions.

Geoffrey,
The first method described here (How to enter Unicode characters
in Microsoft Windows)
http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm
does work for me in FM8.
You probably need to set the registry key EnableHexNumpad as described.

Thanks! Adding the registry key got it working
