Creating smileys is a popular activity for many using the computer and if you can’t make smileys, you may just be feeling a little left out.

Steps

1. Learn the basic smiles and the meaning that accompanies each. The following list provides you with the major smiley emoticons (emotional icons). Most of them are drawn sideways, that is you might see the intended image better if you tip your head to the left.

You’ll find French, German and Spanish accents, including à, é, ü and ñ.

If you’re a writer, you can make real “en” and “em” dashes instead of — a double hyphen.

For really cool symbols (stars, fancy bullets, astrological glyphs, etc.), you’ll want to check out the Alt Key shortcuts for Wingdings and Dingbats (below).

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to make symbols and non-English letters using: (1) the Insert function in Microsoft Word and Publisher, (2) The Character Map for copying and pasting symbols into your document, and (3) the Alt Key shortcuts for the same symbols.

You’ll also find free lists below with dozens of alt key symbols, including copyright, trademark, registered, French, German and Spanish accents, bullets and more - plus shortcuts for common Wingdings and Dingbats.

(1) How to Use the “Insert” Function:

In Microsoft Word (and Publisher/FrontPage), there’s an easy way to insert symbols for copyright, trademark, cents and French, German and Spanish accents. You never again have to use e’, when what you really want is é.

On the top of the screen of your open Word 2003 document, you’ll see the headings: File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, etc. Click on “Insert” and on the drop-down list, click on “Symbol.” A symbol box will pop up. Click on the symbol you want to insert into your text, then click on the insert button and close the box.

In Word 2007, click on the Insert tab, then click on the symbol icon (at the far right). A little box pops up which shows a few symbols and the words “More Symbols.” If you click on “more symbols,” a bigger box pops up with all kinds of symbols, depending on what font you’re working in.

(2) How to Use the “Character Map” in Windows:

Another method is to use the “Character Map” to copy and paste the required symbols. In Windows (XP), you’ll find the Character Map by clicking on the Windows Start Menu, then All Programs, then Accessories, System Tools and Character Map. The Character Map box pops up.

Choose the font you wish to use from the drop-down menu at the top. Place your curser where you’d like to insert the symbol, click on the symbol you wish to insert, click on the Select Button, then the Copy Button and then paste the symbol onto your page (using Edit, Paste or the “Control v” shortcut). You’ll also see the Alt Key shortcut at the bottom of the Character Map, for future reference.

(3) How to Make Keyboard Symbols with the “Alt” Key and Numeric Keypad:

Another way is to use the “Alt” key and numbers – making sure to use your numeric keypad, not the numbers on the top of the keyboard. NumLock needs to be ON.

Using the numeric keypad, hold down the Alt key, and hit the numbers (in succession) shown below for the symbol you want to use. For example for © Copyright, hold down Alt, press the number 0, then press the numbers 1, 6, 9. Then you can let up the Alt key.

***LAPTOP USERS: If you don’t have a numeric keypad, you’ll need to use either the insert function or Character Map method.

Hello everyone, in this post I want to share how to create bootable windows setup on USB flash drive. With this trick you can build your windows setup, including windows 7, XP, Vista, 2003 and 2008. You know that most of OS installer comes with CD or DVD and usually we do install them to computer with CD/DVD drive. But now, there are many netbook that don’t have optical drive. And maybe in the future we will no longer using CD/DVD (is it possible?…we’ll see ). The easy way to create bootable USB flash windows installer is by using software. I recommend you to use Novicorp WinToFlash. Why? Because it is easy to operate, fast and save your time…and most importantly, it is a freeware software, so you can download Novicorp WinToFlash and use it for free.

How to use Novicorp WinToFlash?

All you need to create USB flash bootable windows setup are USB drive (flash, thumb, pen drive, etc.) and the windows setup CD. First, you have to download Novicorp WinToFlash and extract the .rar file (If you don’t have winRAR you can extract it using free 7Zip). Double click the WinToFlash application file to run the program.

You can either run the wizard or select the “task” tab to create bootable windows on USB flash drive. Both methods are easy, but if you’re not sure, I recommend you to use the wizard.

For example, we will use wizard, click the “Windows setup transfer wizard”, then click next…

Select the windows files path (CD drive or folder location that contains windows setup files), and select the USB drive location, then click next.

Please wait while the program create your windows setup on USB drive

Once it finished, click next and exit. Now you have bootable windows setup on USB flash drive.
