Email Address Problem.

Options
I would like to send an Email but the Address has a dash which is on the bottom line.
On my keyboard I have only a dash which is half way up.
How can I do this?
By a dash I mean a minus sign.
Thank You.

    Hold down the shift key as you press the - to get the "underscore" _

    Also you could try holding down the 'Alt' key and type '95'

    Alt 95 did it.

    Surely shift + "-" is easier. It's just holding down two buttons. How do you manage to get on with doing an equals (=) sign? It's right next to the underscore and the same procedure. Otherwise what kind of keyboard do you have?

    On my keyboard, I just press the key by itself.

    Perhaps you meant +? ;)

    Yep my mistake, It's the + on the = key. What's really worrying is that I managed to type the post without realising I wasn't doing what I was saying to do to input the symbols I typed!!! I'm really losing it.

    The plus sign works with shift button. The keyboard is a Revoltec.

    Underscore works in exactly the same way and it's right next to the + key.
