Just a note for those using laptops.....you need to enable num lock first and use the "blue" number keys.
I don't have any blue numbered keys.

Guess I don't have access to the fancy doodles.....

Nothing happens at all.

(and thanks for the happy regular weekend Pam!)
The first time I tried it, it didn't work. I'd used the number keys above the letters. When I retried it using the number keypad to the right of the letters, it worked fine.

Ok, I fell for this one hook, line and sinker. I thought I had an ant crawling on my monitor and I couldn't kill it. Sheesh!

Great tips, Pam. Have a safe holiday weekend.

♥♥ SSSSWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT tip, Pam! I'm sooooo excited!! I've always wondered how people did that! I was just telling my husband that I conquered a lot on the computer this year. And ya know what, Pam??? It's all because of you. I told you that you are a good teacher. ♥♥
(To those of you on laptops.... I couldn't get it to work at first either. There are two ALT keys, and two number keyboards on my laptop. Mine worked with the ALT that's to the right of my spacebar and the numbers ((if you have them)) on the right with the NUM LOCK "on.") Edit: once it worked with the NUM LOCK "off," and once it was "on." Just mess around with the combinations.
