How To Get Em-Dash Without Numeric Keypad

Question

I have a new laptop from Microsoft that does not have a numeric keypad. When using Word 365 I am trying to insert an Em Dash. I've found multiple sources that indicate I can still use a keyboard shortcut to insert the Em Dash (such as https://www.shortquts.com/what-are-the-keyboard-shortcuts-with-alt-2/) by holding down the Alt key and pressing 0151. However, whenever I do that my computer instantly brings up the key tips (or the ribbon shortcuts) that correspond to the Alt key. So, pressing 0151 brings up some kind of autosave function for OneDrive. 

And no combination of holding down Alt or not holding down Alt seems to help.

Am I stuck with inserting Em Dashes the old fashioned way?

Answer 1

Thank you - right, checked it out and unfortunately it's not offered on Microsoft "mobile" devices such as the Surface. Major fail :(

Answer 2

OK, I've never used a Microsoft Surface so I am not familiar with the keyboard layout.

That leaves the Character Map as the only possiblity in programs other than Word.
