How cool is that?!! ¾ ½ ¼Originally Posted by polly13
The fractions are great when typing recipes or pattern directions. ALT+0188=1/4, ALT+0189=1/2, ALT+0190=3/4. I have a list of several others, but rarely use them with my sewing.

Another symbol is the cents '¢' symbol. Simply press down the 'Alt' button with one hand, punch in the numbers 155, release the 'Alt' button and like magic the cent '¢' symbol will appear.
I hope this helps someone, it is just a little knowledge and timesaver.
Nothing happens when i push down the Alt key
