I know of no way to do that. But why would you want to? Only people who
have that particular font on their system will see it, and there's a
good chance they won't.

Yes, it involves a three-keystroke sequence -- colon, followed by a minus
sign, followed by a close-parenthesis, like this: :-).

You may also make a winking smiley face using a similar three-keystroke
sequence -- semicolon, followed by a minus sign, followed by a close-
parenthesis, like this: ;-).

I know, I know...... ;>)

I was just hoping to actually insert the wingding font for a smiley
(shift j) without jumping back and forth between arial and wingding
and back to arial.
