Thanks for the advice. I typed in Alt 0254 as you suggested and sure enough, it came up with 'þ'. So far, by trial and error, I have got these others and have developed a stiff neck in the process! You say that these characters are to be found in the extended Windows font. I haven't got this, or if I have, I don't know where to find it. Remember, you are dealing with someone whose technical skills are at the palaeolithic stage.Could I beg further advice from you?
Cheers,
Jed
