Adding the copyright © symbol to photos

Do you ever search for something repeadly, forgetting the “trick” to the answer you’ve already searched. This has happened to me a few times to me already when I want to add the copyright symbol © to an image.

© © © © ©

Searching on Google says just press ALT while pressing the numbers 0169, so you try it and it doesn’t work. WHY?

HERE’S THE TRICK – On my Windows machine running Vista at least, the 0169 MUST BE PRESSED FROM THE NUMBER PAD NOT the line of numbers above the letters.

Just as an FYI this © symbol by pressing ALT while pressing 0169 works in Photoshop, Word, Notepad and likely many other programs.
