Numeric Code
4. Point your browser to Pete Freitag's ASCII Character Codes Table & Cheat Sheet to get the numeric code for the ASCII character you want to insert. Find the character and its numeric code on the list and jot this down on a piece of paper.
5. Open Word and your document. Move the cursor to where you want to add the character in your document.
