The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

All ASCII and ANSI character codes can be inserted in Microsoft Word for Windows using the ALT+<Character Code> key combination except for ASCII 0 (HEX 00). There is no way to enter this code directly from the keyboard; however, you can create a macro to insert this character in your Word for Windows document.

MORE INFORMATION

You may need to insert the ASCII Null character in a PRINT field as a printer command. Use the following macro to insert this character at the insertion point:

   Sub MAIN
   Insert Chr$(0)
   End Sub

The complete Ansi Character set values for decimal and hexidecimal can be found in Appendix C of "Word for Windows User's Reverence," version 1.1, pages 427-430.
