Re: [JAWS-Users] Typing A Checkmark / Square root symbol
Hi Flor Steve; Thank you very much for your help input. This question originated from a need to place a checkmark in a Word document, since the checkmaark / square root are 1 in the same... Yes Flor, in checking the scientific calculator keystrokes for the United States, the keystroke is shift + 2, as you suggested it would be. Thanks again for all the help, take care.

You're right, you enable numpad then hold down the alt key and type 251. - Original Message - From: Mike Barbara mb69ma...@charter.net To: Jaws-Users List jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 10:09 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Typing A Checkmark / Square root symbol Hi All; How does someone type the Checkmark / Square root symbol?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Typing A Checkmark / Square root symbol
Hi Steve; When I do the, Alt + 251 keystroke, Jaws reads U circumflex. Is that what Jaws will read but, it's actually a checkmark / square root symbol?
