Numerical Text Entry - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Commissioning Manual

Creating Foreign Language Texts with Windows 2000/ 2003/ XP (TX2)
3 Input of Text
Keyboard layout in picture form
You can obtain the keyboard layout in picture form.
For appropriate Internet addresses, see Section 5.1. References for text creation
Checking the keyboard layout
Compare the keyboard layouts and note a key with two different assignments. If
you are not sure, press this key when entering the text to test which layout is
active.
Example: If the German keyboard layout is active, pressing key "1" (letter group)
will produce a "1", and if the Czech keyboard layout is active, a "+".
Note
Check whether the automatic option for switching over the keyboard has been
activated in Word. Inadvertent switching of the keyboard layout by Word can
cause confusion.
Section 3.7 (Multi-language Word files) describes situations in which the
automatic keyboard switchover function is useful and how to activate and
deactivate it.

3.5 Numerical text entry

Note
In contrast to the previous method with WordPad in Windows 95/NT 4, you can
only use the numerical input with Word 2000/ 2003 if you have selected a
corresponding keyboard layout (see Section 3.4: Using a different keyboard
layout).
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 1.3: Language family).
You will find overview tables of the code pages e.g. at Microsoft under
