We are not surprised because they have fallen out of favor with today&#8217;s computers. Unless, of course, you a computer professional. In short, these codes are computer speak for every letter and number you type. More that the non printing codes support printers and other peripherals.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: red;\">Here&#8217;s How To Make This Work For You:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Lets say you want the word &#8216;Dog&#8217; (without the single quotation marks) on page 15 of your book, paper, thesis, or other document to appear in the index, but you do not want the word &#8216;Dog&#8217; appearing in the index on pages 16, 17, and 18.<\/li>\n<li>On page 15 you type the word &#8211; Dog then without skipping a space you:<\/li>\n<li>Hold down the Alt key and on your numeric keypad (while holding down the Alt<br \/>\nkey) type 255<\/li>\n<li>Then release the Alt key and you&#8217;ll see what looks like a space appear after the word Dog. But it&#8217;s not the space character in&#8217;s ASKII255, <i><span style=\"color: red;\">BUT it looks just like the space character<\/span><\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\"><strong>See what you&#8217;ve done?<\/strong> When you add Dog[ASCII255] to your index, it (the index) will only find instances of Dog[ASCII255] because you added DogASKII255 to the index.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: red;\">Why This Works<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">To us humans, the word dog is composed of three letters. To a computer that&#8217;s not the case. What this technique does is append a character that looks for all the world like a space, but it is not the space character. So, what this does is make the word dog a four letter word ending in ASKII255.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 30px;\">When your indexing software goes looking for what to index, if finds only the word(s) dogASKII255 because that&#8217;s what you told the index to look for.
