Enlarge Character Map

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Are you talking about the Windows Character Map or Word's Insert Symbol
dialog? AFAIK, it's not possible to enlarge either one, but FWIW Word 2002
has a greatly enlarged Insert Symbol dialog that makes it much easier to see
the characters.

Hi Niccole,

If you are mainly interested in characters that can be easily accessed
with the keyboard, you might try
Microsoft Visual Keyboard:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/viskeyboard.aspx

It shows the current keyboard (depending on the language you select),
and it's scaleable.
In addition, you see the name of the character and its Unicode value
if your cursor rests above the character.
Plus, you can klick on the keys with the mouse to send those
characters to any Office program.

Greetings, Klaus
