I am having trouble finding some obscure characters on my keyboard.
I need the character 124 for example to specify this as a delimiter in the text to columns wizard for some data i am importing into excel. so this doesnt happen again with some other character, after i get the answer from one of you clever people, could you also tell me pls how to link a particular character or character code with its location on the keyboard so i can access it. many thanks -- Peter |
