I’m always looking for a way to have a little fun while I’m working, but I don’t want it to be difficult. Every morning I jump on Facebook to send birthday wishes to my clients and friends, read some updates and make a few comments. More and more I’ve noticed all the fun symbols my Facebook friends are using in their comments and Birthday wishes. You’ve seen them…music notes, hearts, smiley faces!
It’s one of those things where you think – how did they do that? But you never take the time to figure it out! So I did! And I decided to share them with all my Realtor® buddies…and spread a little ♥ and ☺!
1. Turn on your keyboard’s Number Lock.
2. Hold down the Alt key, then type one of the numbers listed below on the numeric keypad. (You must use the keypad; the standard number keys won’t work.) So, for example, to get a heart symbol, you’d press Alt-3. For a musical note, Alt-1-3 (meaning you hold down Alt, press 1, press 3, and then release the Alt key).
Here’s a list of some of the more popular symbols you might want to use. Print it, copy and paste it or do a Jing screen capture and save it somewhere for easy reference.
