Using Character Map This program can be used to insert special characters (often the characters with accents) into a document or to learn the Alt + Number Pad number that you can use to insert special characters. 1) On the school networks, minimize all Windows until you get access the Usernet group where the Character Map Icon is stored. (If this icon is not available, see your School Site Technical Contact for help. They can use Usernet Group Administration to assign this icon). On the Local partition or on your home computer the Character Map icon can be accessed through Start/Programs/Accessories 2) Because the character which you will insert will appear where the cursor is located, before continuning, make sure that the cursor is located where you want to insert the special character. Click on the Character Map icon. 3) Select the character that you want to insert into your document and pay attention to the Font that you are actually using in your document. Then click INSERT or COPY TO CLIPBOARD depending of your Windows version.
4) The new character should appear in your document, if not press CTRL+V to Paste it in the required place. 5) Redo this process to insert another character. 6) To download a different Font Map than the one furnished with Windows, click here and install this software (Meracl FontMap 2.0) on the local partition of your computer or on your homecomputer. This software cannot be installed on the School network.
