Hi

This isn't strictly a Word question but here goes. I am trying to make a
text based navigation bar in HTML using Notepad and I can't find a key for a
"vertical bar". I thought that it is above the Tab key but I have 3 symbols
on the key an have been unable to find a combination of keys to select the
"vertical bar".

Thanks

Nick
 
Hi Nick,

It depends on what keyboard layout you have -- there are many, as shown at
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.aspx.

On the US English and UK English keyboards, the vertical bar (also known as
the "pipe") is a shifted backslash -- but that's above the Enter key on the
US keyboard and to the left of the Z key on the UK keyboard. On a German
keyboard it's a AltGr plus the < key; on a Swiss German keyboard it's AltGr
plus the 1 key. Yours may be something else...
