Problem with lower case umlauts.
Hello,
I am using Office 2003/SP2 with XP/SP2. While using Word, I can use the Ctrl+Shift+:,letter method to generate uppercase letters with an umlaut. However, I cannot use this method to create lowercase letters with umlauts. I've seen various instruction on what one should do to for lowercase letters. Some say use Ctrl+:, letter. This persists in giving an uppercase umlauted letter. I've tried this and seemingly every other conceivable combination, and everything gives uppercase only. Even if I go to Insert/Symbol and pick a lower case umlauted character from the symbol chart and click insert, I still get an uppercase character. Specifically I just want to be able to insert lowercase umlauted a,u, and o without having to resort to the Alt + numeric code method. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution? -- Thank You, Dale |

Problem with lower case umlauts.
G'Day Dale
My guess is that you have CAPS Lock on, or have Formatted the Font to display as All Caps. Be clear that the process is CTRL + : followed by letter - either upper or lower case. (Since : is SHIFT + ; this equates to CTRL + SHIFT + ; although I feel that that muddies the water.) -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Dale Magnant" wrote in message ...

Problem with lower case umlauts.
The shortcut is Ctrl+: (which requires a Shift), then the letter. I suspect
that your problem is that you are not releasing the Shift key before pressing the lowercase letter. -- Suzanne S.

Problem with lower case umlauts.
Pat,
Thanks for your response - after reading it I went back and seemingly did the same thing over again - and it worked! Good Grief! In my previous go-around I had checked Caps Lock as you suggested, but it was off. I hope all is well down there in Australia. It's springtime down there I suppose - being in Vermont, USA, I'm jealous.
