Typing Different Alphabets
Is there anyway to set up a character style such that it will use a
different alphabet? For example, I would like to have a Greek Character style using Time New Roman that, when typing an "S" produces a sigma, rather than having to does INSERT CHARACTER repeatedly. |

Typing Different Alphabets
Setup the Greek language and keyboard in Windows. Use the keyboard shortcut
(normally LEFT ALT + SHIFT) to switch keyboards when entering Greek. If you need a reminder of the Greek key mappings, use the onscreen keyboard from the accessibility tools. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote: Is there anyway to set up a character style such that it will use a different alphabet?

Similar problem here.....
Some of my fonts have small capitals. Is there any way to access the small capitals using the keyboard, rather than Insert Character? |

Create a character style with the small caps attribute set and apply it to
text typed normally. The lower case characters will be set as small caps. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote: Similar problem here.....

Small Caps is a font attribute and it can be toggled on/off just like
italics, bold or underlines. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+K: just select the text and execute Ctrl+K. But if you use this more than just the odd occasion, then follow Graham's recommendation and create a style for it. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ... Similar problem here.....
