Accent marks directly on top of letters (English)
I want to insert accent marks directly on top of letters, e.g., "Alarcon"
with the accent mark over the "o" rather than the mark breaking up the word such as "Alarc[accent mark space]on" or "Alarco[accent space]n" or Alarcon[accent mark after "n"]. This name happens to be Hispanic. Do I need to switch to Spanish to get the mark? I see a tildee in the Symbols menu and it works directly over the "n". Another example is "de ja vu" (French) placing the regular accent mark over the "e" and a backwards accent mark over the "a". I see it printed this way in a dictionary. |

As a general rule in Word, you can press Ctrl+ the accent you want to use,
followed by the letter you want accented. So, Ctrl+' followed by e gives you é, or Ctl+` followed by e gives you è. If you need a more comprehensive and natural solution, look into installing foreign keyboard support in the Languages toolbar. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "jld55" wrote in message ...
