How to type vowels with tilde?
I am unable to obtain the tilde as an accent on vowels (a,e,o,i etc). I
have no difficulty getting the other European accents (acute, grave, circumflex, etc). Typing CTRL+Shift+~ followed by the letter does not produce anythilng. Grateful for assistance to solve this problems |

How to type vowels with tilde?
ã and õ should work with ctrl-~a and o respectively (they do on my
machine) i and u are in the character set, but don't happen automatically. Use 0129 alt-x and 0169 alt-x. You can set up autotext or autocorrect entries for these if you use them often. Can't see e-tilde in the normal set. You could construct it using an EQ field (which you could then set up as an autotext entry); or hunt for a font with more special characters.

How to type vowels with tilde?
That's odd, particularly if you hold those keys (Ctrl-Shft-~) down at the
same time followed by the letter and get absolutely nothing, not even the unaccented letter or a space. Just a guess--is it possible you are not using the standard (U.S.) keyboard? You might want to double check all the settings to make sure something did not change somewhere along the way. I have been using the keyboard to type international characters for years and through several iterations of Word on many different computers. But on occasion I have switched Word to a international keyboard (in my case German--trying to switch Word keyboards in German is a big mistake! Same old keyboard and keys but sooo many are switched around that you will never remember which is which!) and the keyboard shortcuts no longer worked, perhaps because the specific int'l keyboard already includes those very characters! Anyway, just a guess. There is a great MVP paper on this at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...tSpecChars.htm. See KB Article 269750 for other details, including references to the Visual Keyboard. Note that this may be for Word 2000 but it works in later versions as well. "Param1911" wrote in message ...
