Depends on where you are, operating system etc., as it opens up all sorts of documents for me.I just use the symbols tabs in Word instead.

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.
Frankly, my tired old brain has stored enough signs and symbols and I'll just keep typing.
