Re: Xara Xone Workbook 39 and Guest Tutorial 50 - FREE!
You did a terrific job with my two "challenges," Gary. I'll have to come up with something more difficult next time :) as you make it look easy. Makes me think, "Now why couldn't I think up something like that?" So stay tuned for Zeb's challenges 3 & 4, 5 & 6, etc. :D

hi i am just trying your tutorial on watermarks but cannot get past teh first paragraph.
To create a copyright symbol in Xara X, with the Num Lock key enabled on your keyboard's keypad, hold down the Alt key and key in 0169 on the numeric keypad. Format the copyright symbol in a font of your choice. I have used Verdana Bold at 250pt.

Hi Razgo,
Welcome to the forum.
Most laptops have a NumLoc key just like full keyboards do. It changes the right hand letters to numbers. Check your keyboard for small numbers on the J K L U I O and M keys. Some manufacturers make the small numbers a different colour than the letters.

hi, yes i do have a numlock but i dont have a numerical keypad. no keypad on the right hand side.
Re: Xara Xone Workbook 39 and Guest Tutorial 50 - FREE!
The NumLoc with the numbers on the letters should give the same results. Don't use the default numbers along the top row of keys (typewriter numbers).
On my Dell laptop I have to hold the Fn and Alt Keys while entering the 0169 to get the copy right symbol.

ah ok i got it now, thanks. that was a little confusing finding those keys.
in my case on my acer laptop pressing F11 brings up the bitmap gallery. so i have to use the function key and then press numlock. and then locat those keys with the smaller numbers on them.
all good now , thanks very much for your help :)
thanks
russ

I'm glad it is working for you :)
Just some info for anyone using other brands of laptop computers.
On an IBM ThinkPad once Numloc is activated all that needs to be held is the Alt key when entering the 4 digit number for the character you want. Compaq laptops work the same as the IBM. Looks like my Dell is the oddball of having to hold Fn and Alt at the same time.
