How to Make Symbols with Keyboard

[longknife]

It took me a minute to figure it out but its really neat☺

As a writer, this is a real help. I no longer have to go to the Insert icon and then click through a couple of portals to hunt for the special symbol I need.

¡ and ¿ are ones I use a lot and this will allow me to go on without losing my train of thought.

I found this on Google+ and am sorry that I didn't remember the name of the one who posted it.

It doesn't show the combination of keys which makes the dash (—).

To make the dash, simply press and hold down the ALT key and type the number "0151".

Lotsa good writers will appreciate your doing that, as it looks better than two hypens (--) as a proxy for a dash.

Keyboards are too expensive to make symbols out of. Just sayin'...........
