You can use an international keyboard even when the language is set to U.S.
This turns the quote keys and some others into "dead keys" that produce
accents over letters.

I don't think so. How would i tell? It only happens in some of the cells,
and
not all the time.

Yes, i realize that about switching the language to American. I just
wonder
why the accents are there in place of some keys when the language is
listed
as English. Doesn't really matter - it's just me obsessing over this.

You need to change your keyboard from international to US.

Ièm using a table to create spine labels for books. Every so often,
the
formatting changes, the text is spread apart and is underlined in
blue.
Nothing i do will change this.

And while ièm asking questions, how do you tell your keyboard that
English
Canadian text doesnèt have accentsÉ Very frustrating!

Thanks!
