How do I create a dash on a laptop without keypad

It is crucial that I could dash-EM (single on the Mac that I usually use) in the case of blogging. I'm getting slapped on the wrist of my employer if I type two dashes.

I see you're supposed to type alt-0150 (I think that's the right number; I don't have a reference in front of me). But it's supposed to be done by using the numeric keypad only. I don't have a number pad on my Dell Vostro.

How do you make the em dash - on a laptop without keypad?

Most laptops have digital keyboards "stacked" on top of the normal keys, usually in a different color.  For example, every Dell laptop includes a numeric keypad where the number 5 is the same as the key J, written in a blue font on the key.  On these laptops, you can use the function (Fn) key to access these blues numbers.  Because it is all engaged in hardware, Windows and other programs interpret as real numbers presses of buffer, which means you can use it to type characters.

If your laptop does not these functions, you can also use the character map program.  You can search by name in the start menu, or typecharmap program name in the search box on the start menu and press ENTER to access the program.  Once there, you can find and select the character to copy/paste in your program on the other.

I wouldn't mind having the end result in 1080 p, but I still need to go through this sequence lag edition.

    I don't think you can do this with ordinary Thunderbird. But this add-on

    allows you to run javascript or IIRC, launch an external program when a given filter condition is met. So this does not exactly provide an answer to your question, but allows a possible solution. '

  • How can I create a separate address book? I'm not on a mailing list but an address book where addresses are not mixed with my usual address b

    How can I create a separate address book? I'm not on a mailing list but an address book where addresses are not mixed with my address book regularly. I already have three created for me by Thunderbird address books. Add all new addresses to one of those, I'm not afraid to remove the other address books, because some of their addresses are not repeated in my address book "main". So if I delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create a blank book that will not mix the addresses with those of an another address book. HOW CAN I CREATE AN ADDRESS BOOK EMPTY? I want to be able to create multiple mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book, I will eventually have an address book special with a variety of mailing lists, that I can use as I want to.

    In the address book, file | New | Address book.

    No menu showing "file"? F10 or ALT.
