Does anyone know what "Alt numbers" to use to find different arrow symbols? Someone had a partial list yesterday. Anyone know where to find the complete list?

On a Windows PC,
Start Button
All Programs
System Tools
Open the folder "Accessories"
Choose "Character Map"

Not all the characters shown are used with the Alt key, only the ones in common usage, but all the characters and symbols can be "copy and paste"

If you have Wingdings 3 on your computer you will find a comprehensive set of arrows in the character map.

Most of the Alt + codes are shown here:

Yes I know about that. It just takes too long to use it. Thanks for your time.

Thanks, I learned a lot from this.
I opened and found it but is there some way to print the list?
Also, could you tell me how to show a line through a word, as if it had been crossed out?

Since it's a web page can't you hi-lite with your mouse and then in printer, choose the print selection ?

I can only do that from applications such as Word - There are ways but I don't know them.

Strikthrough
I know in Excel you right click cell, left click format cell, click font, then check the strikethrough box lower left. That cell you can copy and paste to a different program like email. Use the icon keep source formatting when pasting.

Strikethrough in Word. Home page close to left "ABC". Copy and paste would not copy line here.

For saving or printing text, or images, or almost anything that appears on my computer screen I find the Windows "Snipping Tool" very useful. It saves the image as a jpg file, which you can then print in the usual way.

Thank you.
