Website Wednesday - Techie Tips

Not a website this week but some information I found from some websites that I think you will find useful!


I was trying to find a suitable division sign for something I was making for my class and I wasn't happy with just using the stroke or the one you find in the shapes section. So a bit of googling later, this is what I found out.


For a Division symbol
If you hold down the Alt key and type 0247, you should get a proper division symbol. NOTE: you need to type on the keypad, not the numbers on the top.




For a Multiplication symbol
If you hold down the Alt key and type 0215, you should get a proper multiplication symbol. NOTE: you need to type on the keypad, not the numbers on the top.


Hope this nifty little trick can help you sometime :)
