Outlook Express 6 Question

[robrpb]

I am using Windows XP Home with all the updates. I use Outlook Express 6 for email. At times I would like to use special characters or symbols in my email, e.g. the symbol for degrees. I counld not figure out how to do this. Can this be done in OE6? Thanks.

You can use the character map. Open a run box and type charmap. You can also use the raw ASCII code if you know the keystrokes. For example, Alt+168 gives you this : ¿

You have to use the number pad with numlock on, it will not work with the number keys on the top of the keyboard.

There are several different "extended" code sheets that go higher than the original 127 character set. You can find lots more good info by Googling ASCII
