▶ Insert a Copyright From the Keyboard | PCWorld
Answer Line forum - How to enter the copyright symbol (©) without going through menus and the character map. I know two ways to do this. One is easier, but the other will work in just about any Windows program. The easiest way is to simply type (c) . If you're using Microsoft Word or another Office program, or OpenOffice, the program will convert it to © as soon as you type the second parentheses. There may be other programs that do this, but those are the ones I know. If you're typing in a program that displays (c) as (c), hold down the ALT key while you type 0169 on your keyboard's number pad. As soon as you let go of ALT , © will appear. This won't work with the typewriter number keys--the ones above the QWERTY letter keys. You have to use the numpad--the number keys at the far right end of the keyboard. Depending on what program you're using, NumLock may have to be on. If you're using a laptop's built-in keyboard, check the documentation
