I once had a sheet that listed all the key combinations needed to make special characters like the degree sigb, umlauts etc. Any computer monkeys know where I can find it again?

Character Map is good but only works in applications that support fonts. It does not work when pasting into things like command prompts or any other application that does not directly support Windows fonts.
It causes problems with applications like AIM, too, that indirectly support the fonts but when you paste in the character map selection you need to then deliberately define the character as the appropriate font.

Šwèè†
but it shows you the ascii code, so for those apps that don't support pasting, you just type it
eg.: ALT-0182 = ¶
Right, but it only shows you the keystroke for those few that support it - not all of them do (actually most of them don't) so you'd have to crawl through the entire table if you wanted a list.
The remainder that do not have an alt-code can be pasted, but again it is specific to the type of font you are using so pasting it in an application that doesn't support fonts (or pasting it in another font) will give unexpected results.

Now you guys are way, way, way over my humble head! Thanks alot, I knew I could count on you all!
