Well, Microsoft is not consistent (not that I am surprised!) ALT X number works in TextPAd, but not in MS-Word. The alternate method (mention in this MS support note: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/insert-ascii-or-unicode-latin-based-symbols-and-characters-d13f58d3-7bcb-44a7-a4d5-97

Thank you for your reply. Obviously, it was possible in earlier versions of LC. So, could someone be kind enough to make a quick test with the most recent versions of LC, by typing text inside a field, if special characters can be used, like alt+144 for É, and possibly on azerty and qwerty key
