 On the File menu, click Open, and then select the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Macros

 In the Files Of Type list, click "Document Templates (*.dot)." Select Macros8.dot and click OK. In your document, type the character for which you want to find the ANSI value, and then select that character. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros.
