Windows - Alt Key Numeric Codes -- For those who type in foreign languages :)

Here's a great site that shows a quick recap of the ASCII keyboard codes. (Anytime you need to enter in a punctuation mark or non-english symbol, find the corresponding symbol and its ASCII numeric equivalent here:

Then hold down the [Alt] key, type in the 4-digit code and then release the [Alt] key.

For example, if you need to say use the upside down exclamation mark in Spanish, you can type in the following:

Hold down the [Alt] key, type in 0161, and release the [Alt] key. You should now see the ¡ symbol.

Check the site for other cool punctuations and accents on the page :)
