Is it okay to put "The Pampered Chef" on a post it note from Vista?
 
:confused: I hope so because I did :o....Ooops! I guess maybe I too should have asked first!
 
You can do that - you just can't put the official logo.

Thanks Jennifer.
 
Yes...just be sure to use the ® symbol.

You are NOT allowed to use our tag line "Discover the chef in you" or anything close to that.

I guess I can't add a special character unless I'm getting the upgraded sticky notes? I don't see where I can add a character for the free ones.
 
You can paste it in there.Go to your Start Menu, then All Programs, then Accessories. Choose System Tools, then Character map.Find the ®, click "select" and then "copy."You should be able to paste that into the text box at Vista - whatever line you're putting "Pampered Chef ®" on your product.

Where do you learn this stuff?
 
I swear, spend enough time on the net and stuff like that just seems to pop into your head all by itself.Google is my very, very best friend, too.Of course, knowing what to call stuff helps too - it's like using your dictionary when you don't know how to spell something.Like with Kelly's tip - I couldn't remember what those were called, so I googled "trademark" because I knew that was one of the special characters, and then "short cut" - and it netted me this:http://home.earthlink.net/~awinkelried/keyboard_shortcuts.html
