Shortcuts for marketers
A handy list of keyboard shortcuts for do-it-yourself marketers.
In your business correspondence and marketing materials, do you ever need to use symbols that aren't on the computer keyboard?
Like © for Copyright or the Trademark symbol or how about a real bullet instead of an asterisk?Maybe you used the Torino Olympic Games to draw attention to some aspect of your business and needed to make French and German accents such as à, é or ü.(1) In Microsoft Word (and Publisher), there's a nifty way to insert symbols for copyright, trademark, cents and French, German and Spanish accents.
You never again have to use e', when what you really want is é.
On the top of the screen of your open Word document, you'll see the headings: File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, etc. Click on "Insert" and on the drop-down list, click on "Symbol." A symbol box will pop up.
Click on the symbol you want to insert into your text, then click on the insert button and close the box.
(2) Another way (this works with other Windows programs as well) is to use the "Alt" key and four numbers - making sure to use your numeric keypad, not the numbers on the top of the keyboard.Using the numeric keypad, hold down the Alt key, hit the Zero key and then three additional numbers in succession.
For example for © Copyright, hold down Alt, press the number 0, then press the numbers 1, 6, 9. Then you can let up the Alt key.
Copyright (©) is Alt, 0, 1, 6, 9
Trademark (TM) is Alt, 0, 1, 5, 3
Registered (®) is Alt, 0, 1, 7, 4
Bullet is Alt, 0, 1, 4, 9
Ellipsis (...) is Alt, 0, 1, 3, 3"N"
Dash (-) is Alt, 0, 1, 5, 0"M"

Cents (¢) is Alt, 0, 1, 6, 2
One-half (½) is Alt, 0, 1, 8, 9
French accent (é) is Alt, 0, 2, 3, 3
French accent (à) is Alt, 0, 2, 2, 4
German accent (ü) is Alt, 0, 2, 5, 2
