ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Anne!
DeleteAre these tips for a Mac also? I tried the alt 3 and didn't get a heart?
ReplyDeleteTry googling it. I found this, but I don't know if it will work since I have a PC.
DeleteHope it works!

See Thomas R's response.
"Go to System Preferences -> Language & Text (or whatever it's called in Mac OS X 10.5), go to the Input Sources item and check the box next to Keyboard & Character viewer. That will add a menu at the right side of your menu bar that allows you to show the Character Viewer. Do that, and find the heart symbol (among the many, many other symbols). Double-click it to insert it."
I have never gotten the hang of any of these, thanks for sharing, I think I need to make notes!
ReplyDeleteHave at it Annie! It's fun! ☺
DeleteAwesome! I had forgotten how to do these. smiles
