Hi,

I try to use Word -97 for documents containing
both my native language Finnish and also ancient
Greek (New Testament) alphabets. I have tried
to use the Unicode Palatino Linotype font which
includes those many apostrophes and other similar
special characters the Greek language includes and
which characters should be placed above the letters.

If anyone can help me please:

1. The only way I have managed to type in the Greek letters
is by changing the Input Locale to Greek. Is this the
only way?

2. How can I get the apostrophes above the letters?
I assume this should be the same thing as with the German
"umlaut" (accent mark) etc? (= the apostrophes are separate
fonts).

3. Is there any way to customise or "program" the keyboard
with Word -97 so that I could say press ALT to get the
Creek letters while using the Finnish Locale.

Thanks for any help,

Thanks for that but it does not enable typing large amouts of
text as with using multiple Locale settings.

Answering my own Q, the "right" answer can be found from
the link below which shows how to type all diacritics form
