How to put the copyright sign on photos
I recently aquired Premium Vista and it does not seem to let me use alt+0169 which I was using with Windows XP before.
Thankyou, Mal

I don't have Vista, but here are a couple of options:
- if you have MS Word (or similar), create a doc, type (c), press space and it will convert to the symbol. Then copy and paste.
- Run: charmap.exe, pick any basic font (Courier New will do), double click the symbol, click 'Copy' and then paste.If you don't want to do this all the time, create a simple text or wordpad file on your desktop containing your copyright sig. Then just copy & paste from there when needed. dvc

Mal, I've NEVER been able to get the Alt+0169 thing going in ANYTHING!! I take it you're using Photoshop? I create a 'brush'and 'stamp or sign' my pix like that. I've also just discovered something called www.faststone.com (or net?) If you d/l that its a great bulk resizer/does some editing if you need, and you can add text or a watermark. Fiddle around with it, its quite effective. I just need to work out how to keep my watermark relative to the size of my pic now.... as sometimes it tends to go off the edges!! Robyn

You may have already solved the problem by now, but for clarification and documentation purpose :
Character mapping and the method of inserting special characters and symbols have not changed in Windows Vista. Method A:
If you are using the shortcut, the leading zero may be omitted in Vista. In another word, in case of Copyright symbol, either Alt+0169 or Alt+169 may be used to insert ©. Make certain that "Num Lock" is turned on on the numeric keypad.
Method B:
If you still have a problem, then use the Character Mapping Table by
1. Choose Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map.
2. Look for the symbol in the table and double-click on it.
3. Paste the symbol in your document or image.
