Yet another way to do it is look to the upper left of the letters. For
example: QWE would be the number 123.
I had to do this several times during the contest. So a report of: TOO QWE
QWE would be 599 123 123.
Whatever works.

John,
Rich is correct, you can hold the Shift key down and then click on the first
character of the letters that printed instead of numbers. I did this several
times in the WPX RTTY - very handy and much quicker than sending NR NR in hopes
of getting a repeat that prints correctly. The only problem is if the string
of letters you want to convert to numbers has extras garbage characters that
printed at the end. Without a space at the end of what you do want you are
likely to get an unrealistic entry into the NR field.

I believe that your can hold the SHIFT key then click on the serial number
(letters in this case) and they are converted to the correct numbers. Unless I
misunderstood your question in the first place.
