Default Special characters in windoze

Another way of finding the keystrokes for the special characters (accented letters and symbols) is Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools> Character Map. You can then either copy and paste or use the alt+4digit code. If using the alt+4digit method, note that the two alt keys can behave differently (some keyboards have one labelled "alt" and the other "alt char" to make the difference clearer). The other thing that may cause trouble is that you have to hold down the alt key while typing the 4 character code.
