For this purpose there's no better tool than AllChars, which works in every program. Mu = CTRL Comma u Degrees = CTRL d g Copyright = CTRL O C Plus/minus = CTRL + - You see, this makes much more sense than remebering all those ALT-codes.

Part of is using the extended characters that can be generated by having the "Num Lock" on your keyboard on and the holding the "Alt" key while entering the 4 digit ASCII code for the characters above those shown on your key board. I have a document that I can share of the standard character set. The other choice is highlighting the characters and choosing a Greek or Universal Math font which may have been loaded onto your computer when you loaded Microsoft Office, Corel Office Suite or other graphics programs you may have now on your system. With this method you may have to make a conversion chart between the standard QWERTY keyboard characters and the ASCII extended characters as listed above, but it will open up a whole new area of clarity. Here are a couple of ASCII codes to try. (use the first process listed above.) Mu = ASCII 0181 = µ Degrees = 0176 = ° the Cent symbol (my 2¢) = 0162 = ¢ pounds Sterling = 0163 = £ Yen = 0165 = ¥ plus/minus = 0177 = ± Trade mark = 0153 = (tm) copywrite = 0169 = © registered = 0174 = ® Included in this set are all the special characters with accents and umlauts, the C with the squiggle tail used in Spanish, the N with the tilde, etc. The standard letter set ends at ASCII 0126, but the range goes to ASCII 0255. Check it out.

Graham, I have a little confunsion with the units of the ionic contamination... are they "mg/cm2" or "microgram/cm2"? It would be a good thing to be able in Outlook to include greek letters!

String is entirely different. I would be curious as to the studies which set the 0.2 microgram / cm2 level. Use of a more modern dart board, no doubt.

Irving, Most of our customers presently employ a go/no-go at something less than 0.2microgrammes of NaCl equivalence per cm2. The old 1.5 limit may be too high for many modern circuit designs. Remember, that old spec should be interpreted as: It is acceptable to leave UP TO 1.5mg/cm2 on your assembly surface, and that cant be a good thing. -- Regards Graham Naisbitt [log in to unmask] Concoat Limited - Engineering Reliability in Electronics A Britis h Manufacturer www.conformalcoating.com www.concoat.co.uk www.concoatsystems.com Golf Quote of the week: I may be the only golfer never to have broken a single putter...if you don¹t count the one I twisted into a loop and threw into a bush. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- __________ Información emitida por NOD32 __________ Este mensaje ha sido verificado por NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.nod32.com --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
