372923 2005-07-17 09:37:00 Hi PJ

For a full range of symbols in most fonts, use MS Character Map. It is supplied with your OS as charmap.exe.

Go to start>run and enter charmap.exe, press enter and it will pop up.

Alternatively, go to Programs>Accessories>System Tools and you will find it there. IF you want it on screen as an icon, right-click it and choose "Send to desktop" and you will be able to access it quickly whenever you need it.

Cheers
