How type Umlaut quickly on keyboard without sep number pad?
when writing in German need to use Umlaut and sz sound, when Spanish need
special letters there... I used to use special number code with holding Alt key to achieve this, but now I have numbers above letters in row rather than on the side of keyboard and they do not work in the same way. is there a equally quick and easy alternative? |

Yes, there are built-in shortcuts for many of the umlaut and accent characters, as listed in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...tSpecChars.htm. For ü you can hold the Ctrl and Shift keys while typing a colon (, release them and type the u key. For ß you can hold the Ctrl and Shift keys while typing an ampersand (&), release them and type the s key. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
