This is a Windows issue, rather than an EndNote issue.
Most, perhaps all, notebook computers emulate the numeric
keypad with
some key combination, usually involving the Fn key -- see:
.
I should be greatly surprised if your notebook didn't have
this function
and didn't allow you to enter Alt-0150.
Thanks very much for the help and URL info links, Alex, and
particularly
alerting me to the FN key. Holding the FN and ALT keys then
typing 0150
worked like a charm in creating the en dash. It also seems
quicker than
using EndNote's Term List to insert an en dash or other
diacritical
symbols so I'll use Term Lists for other applications.
Thanks very much
for the information.
It may be nice to lessen the number of keystrokes involved
so I may look
into creating a customized layout using Microsoft Keyboard
Layout
Creator.
Thanks a lot for the information and help - I really
appreciate it.

If using an Fn key combo is too complicated, then there are
other
options.
You could use an input utility, such as Quick Unicode Input
or UnicodeInput
(In Unicode, en-dash is U+2013.)
Another option is to remap a key on your keyboard, using a
utility such
as KeyTweaker:
.
Yet another option is to create your own customised keyboard
layout
based on an existing layout, using the Microsoft Keyboard
Layout
Creator:
.
(The US International is a good layout to start from.)
