I sometimes use my laptop computer for entering references. There is a
numeric keypad on the main part of the keyboard, accessible using the
function key. But the idea of using Term Lists sounds easier: it's
something I'm unfamiliar with in EndNote, so I definitely need to
investigate it.

Thanks once again for your help, Peter, and especially information about
the "FN" key - which turned out to be the "missing key" in my case. The
FN key in conjunction with the ALT 0150 keys worked like a charm to
create the en dash. And it seemed to be quicker than creating a Term
List of symbols.
If you're interested in working with terms lists it turned out to be
easy to do. Here's a quick overview:
Go to TOOLS, DEFINE TERM LISTS
The "Term Lists" window pops up. Click CREATE LIST and the "Term List
Name" box prompts you to enter a name for your list (e.g., "Hawaiian
Words"). The "Term Lists" window now shows your new list (Hawaiian
Words).
To add a term into the Special Characters list, click on the "Terms"
tab, then click on the NEW TERM button. The "New Term" window pops up
then you type in the word(s) and click SAVE TERM.
To use the Term List:
Go to TOOLS, OPEN TERMS LIST which will show a list of the available
lists and select the list you want (Hawaiian Words).
The "Term Lists" window pops up with the "Terms" tab displaying the
available term. Click to select the term you want then click INSERT
TERM.
The manual has more detailed information.
Thanks again - I really appreciate your time and help.
