Emoji update

I’ve found a solution, although whether it will continue to work is impossible to say. Things often ‘go wrong’ on my computer. Sometimes, it’s the cats walking across or sitting on the keyboard, so I try to ensure that I switch off the keyboard when I move away from the computer. At other times, I have inadvertently hit the wrong key and I’m never aware of it, but it must be what I’ve done as the in-house expert tells me it is. 👍

 When I go back to do some work there is a frustrating moment when nothing appears on the screen, despite my rapid typing. There follows an ‘Ahhh!’ as I realise what I haven’t done. 👀

For the moment, I’m happy, so expect my posts henceforth to be littered with emojis, until I get bored and move onto something else. I’m such a child!

What was my solution? I searched ‘Add emojis’ in Word (I'm using Windows 10) and followed the instructions. However, when I attempted to copy and paste the entirety of this post, all the emojis disappeared to be replaced with empty boxes. 😢

 Then I read more of your helpful and most welcome comments and I think I’ve discovered another route. If only this level of research and diligence could be applied to something really useful, like finding an answer to Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) 

The emojis cannot be resized as they can in Word but it's a step forward. There is also not as wide a range of emojis. (Some people are never satisfied)

😊😃👏
