Many
programs provide ways for you to include characters that aren't on your
keyboard (Insert Symbol in Microsoft Word, for example), but others
do not. In programs that don't have an insert character or insert symbol
feature, you can paste text from a program that allows you to include
such characters or you can enter individual ASCII characters by using
the key combinations shown in the table below. The characters are shown
in large boldface type. The key combinations are shown above the character
(Macintosh) and below the character (Windows).
MACINTOSH:
Use the OPTION (Op) and/or SHIFT (Sh) keys in combination
with keyboard characters. For example, to get the character ñ,
hold down the OPTION key and tap the N key, release both keys and tap
the N key again.
WINDOWS:
While holding down the ALT key, type the appropriate number on the numeric
keypad on the righthand side of your keyboard. To get the character ñ,
for example, hold down ALT and tap 0241.
