Hi JimB,

Go to:

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools

and find "Character Map". Run this and you can copy and paste all sorts of pretty Unicode characters like this smiley. ☺

Currently on my lappy so your kind help doesn\'t work. However, I am keen to respond to your invitation to \"have a play it\'s fun\" so next time I\'m on my desk top prepare!

Did as you suggested, Viz

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools

and found "Character Map". Ran this and to copy and paste some of the pretty Unicode characters, although I couldn't see a smiley or a heart or a musical note representation, perhaps I need an up-grade?

Hi JimB,

Try changing the font to Arial Unicode MS and there's loads of hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds; even chess pieces. You might need to scroll down a bit to find them. Unfortunately they all come out a bit small on here.
