(see following message acknowledging that on my mac I did not succeed ultimately in placing an opensansemoji character in my message) On an emoji only produced the AppleColorEmoji ones. I had to actually click and drag that ugly opensansemoji font emoji from the Characters menu.
In this format I don't seem to even be able to insert an emoji of the opensansemoji font family. Well that's the icon you have to click on to get the Emoji option.Īnd with my OS (El Capitan) and my version of MS Word (2011), that still allows me only to insert crude emoji from the opensansemoji font family and still won't accept the AppleColorEmoji versions that everyone knows and loves That tells me that my Keyboard is set to type American english. Way up there in the top top menu bar I see an American flag. That's where I was hung up because I had the correct setting on my Keyboard system prefs all along. Nobody will give you the WHOLE story through to the end.Īfter you've used the System Prefs to elect show emoji as shown in the indicated instructions (thank you!) you then have to know where to look on your menu bar if you want to insert an emoji in a Word document.
