Hi,
for those using laptops and trying to get the copyright symbol to work, you can do the following - though it is a bit of hassle.
The "numeric keypad" on laptops is actually part of the normal keypad, and instead of using the numbers 1-9, they mimic the arrangement of the numeric keypad on PCs, so you get the following funky setup:
0 is on the M key
1, 2, 3 are on the J, K, L keys
4, 5, 6 are on the U, I, O keys
7, 8, 9 are on the ... 7, 8, 9 keys (!)
Using Alt + these doesn't work unless you turn on the numeric keypad first - the key to do this varies from laptop to laptop, but is usually identifiable as a small symbol with 4 dots -
in my case, on my Toshiba to turn it on was Fn-F10 (hold Fn and press F10)
Once I did this I could create the © symbol in Notepad - (Alt-mjo9 !)
though don't forget to turn off numeric keypad when your done or you wont be able to type too well :)

<LOL> Are you kidding me? Yep, I went and tried it and it works now... SHEESH! (Why would that make a difference?)
