Input of Text

3.5 Numerical text input

Checking the keyboard assignment
Compare the keyboard assignment and note a key with two different assignments. If you are
not sure, press this key when inputting the text to test which assignment is active.
Example: If the German keyboard assignment is active, pressing key "1" (letter group) will
produce a "1" and if the Czech keyboard assignment is active, a "+".
Note
Check whether the automatic option for switching over the keyboard has been activated
in Word. Inadvertent switching of the keyboard assignment by Word can cause confusion.
Section "Multi-language Word files" describes situations in which the automatic keyboard
switching function is useful and how to activate and deactivate it.
3.5 Numerical text input
You can only use numerical input with Word if you have selected a suitable keyboard
assignment (see Section "Using a different keyboard assignment").
Press the ALT key, and while holding down the key, enter zero and then the three-digit
decimal coding of the desired special character on the numerical key group. Only then
release the ALT key.
Example (Turkish):
ALT+0222 results in Ş (S with cedilla).
To produce this character, you will only need the Character Map of the appropriate code
page (see Section "Language families").
Section "Input via the Character Map" also describes where the key combination is displayed
in the "Character Map" tool.
Overview tables of the code pages
You will find overview tables of the code pages at, e.g., Microsoft under:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/WinCP.mspx
From these tables, combine the headers for the column and row (hexadecimal 00 to FF) and
convert this number to form a decimal number (0 to 255).
The 4-digit hexadecimal numbers contained in the individual table fields are the
corresponding Unicode codes which can be used for identification of a character, but they
cannot be used for numerical input of that character.
