Use emoticons in communicator for mac

Emoticons are graphic images that you can use to express emotions in an instant message conversation.

You can add emoticons in two ways:

• Click in the conversation window and choose the emoticon you want.

• Use a keyboard shortcut.

Notes: 

• To turn off emoticons, on the Communicator menu, click Preferences, and then click Appearance. Under Message Font Style, clear the check boxes for the emoticons that you don't want.

• Depending on a contact's messaging application and messaging service, custom emoticons and some standard emoticons might not be visible to that contact.
