Meryl's Notes Blog

In Windows Fanatics, we pointed out a Microsoft Knowledgebase article that shows how to insert a Ø in MS Word.

Two people submitted easier ways to do it. Both are faster, but harder to remember if you don’t use the Ø often. I think we need a movement to require all licenses, serial numbers, and anything where we have to enter the code to have the slash through the 0 so we know it is 0 and not O. Drives me nuts. The easier ways:

ALT+0216 - this is how I made it in this entry as it works anywhere. [ Thanks, Billie Abraham ]

CTRL+/ followed by O or o - works in Word, but not in this entry. [ Thanks, Diedrik Nelson ]

In Word: use Insert; then Symbols. Insert the slashed 0; then highlight; and change the font to the one you are using. [Thanks, Jay Kueny ]

So how about it? Start the Slashoh movement?
