How to use alt key codes

Alt key codes are great if you like to code by hand and can save a lot of time once you memorize a few. In FrontPage you can always choose Insert and then Symbol.

Hold down the alt key and use the number pad on the far right of your keyboard to type out the 4-character code. When you release the alt key, the character will appear.

Example: Alt-0169 = © or Alt-0174 = ® or Alt-0153 = ™
