ALT Key !!
ALT Key !!
(OP)
I am working with a new computer with 2 monitors.
normally make use of the "ALT" key plus charcter codes to to superscribe the digit 2 to show a power of two, Alt+0178 will result in power of 2.
on this new machine this does not work, how can i change what the "ALT" keys do???
Many thanks

I am trying to use windows "Character Map"
Start>>Accessaries>>system tools>>character Map
i should be able to insert any character by using ALT+"Numeric code" in any windows based application. and i do it at home on W7 but somehow not on my work pc

» On a full-scale keyboard you must have NumLock correctly set;
» On a truncated NoteBook style of keyboard you must also be using the numeric keypad that is "hidden" somewhere among the alphabetic keys.
Apologies if I am suggesting self-evident possibilites you have already considered and discarded, but this is all I can think of. Alt+nnnn has never let me down, even if it is a right PIA on NoteBooks.

Exactly what I thougth, it must work anywhere in a windows environment.

with the external monitor attached as soon as i reach 1 in 0178 (with alt key pressed) it only identifies the #1 monitor
