[PPRAANet] Business cards and rubber stamps - with slashed zeros

[Dennis Major - NØABC]

John et al,

The slashed zero is not an overt option on VistaPrint's web page. The user 
needs to hold down the Alt key and type 0216 on the numeric keypad (it may 
require NumLock to be on) for where you want the slashed zero to appear. 
Once entered this way, you can also copy and paste it, or even create a 
macro for a certain key, provided your application supports that. This works 
with Microsoft and most other products, but I have seen it turned into 
gibberish (a few random characters) when it isn't recognized by some rogue 
mail clients.

I apologize - I guess I was thinking that this little trick had become 
common knowledge here in slashed-zero (Ø) land! See what happens when I 
think?! (I guess that cloudiness is actually smoke! And I thought I quit 
smoking long ago. Oops - there I go thinking again. Vicious cycle.)
