If using a PC or laptop press and hold "ALT" then press 0169 and it comes up with the symbol.

I've never been able to get that to work :(  I resort to C&P from my copyright info that I put on YouTube.

Talking of YouTube - how nice to have a ready-made excuse from now on ;)

and Amazon too, I read.

Keep the Alt key pressed down while typing 0169 then release the Alt key.

I have a full list of Alt key demands/symbols, there are hundreds of them if interested.

I am Richard ... and thank you

Scylla. The clue is in keeping the Alt key pressed down as Richard says. You'll see nothing until you release the Alt key then the will appear.

Richard. I also find that unless I use the actual 'numbers pad' it won't work.

IE:- the symbols at the top of the keyboard do not work in the same way?

That's probably the answer to it, Mike, cos it won't work for me not no-how

I just tried it using the top row of numbers and it doesn't work as you say Mike, it only works when using number pad.

Thanks Richard, not just me then!!

Something strange has suddenly started happening this morning when I reduce the size of a window Any ideas how I can rectify please?
