Creating an Unique File Name

To get an attractive document name, use unique characters. For example, ®WORLD WIDE.doc, ß-Ray.xls, Presentation©.ppt, etc. To find these unique characters, click on the Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tool-Character Map menus. From within the Character Map application, select System font. Click on a character you want to use, such as ß or Ó. At the bottom right corner you can see information that shows the combination keys you must type, for example ALT+0223 for ß.

Go back to your application. Click on the File-Save As menus to save the document and then in the File name box press ALT+0223 to get the ß character.
