LynnieK - I have Windows XP, too, it works for me. Be sure you hold the Alt key down while you're typing the number in, and use the numbers on the keypad to the right of the keyboard (and be sure Num Lock is ON). Ah, and someone told me to use the Alt button to the right of the space bar, not the one to the left of it. Go figure. Oh, well... whatever works. ;)
