in microsoft's czech language keyboard there is a single key which adds an
acute accent to whatever character is pressed after it (the key does not have to be held down while typing the following character). there is also a similar key for adding umlauts. is there any way to create such a function key on my english keyboard? i tried using auto-correct, but it didn't affect characters when not word-final and once [;a] had been set as [a with acute accent], i could not set [;A] as a different character. [ctrl+'] followed by the required vowel is just not as efficient as the means in the czech keyboard. can anyone help? |

Well, one option would be to simply switch the keyboard layout so that you're using the Czech keyboard when typing Czech. Another option would be to create these symbols as AutoText entries, then assign a keyboard shortcut to them. (Although these days you may run into a problem with Word automatically inserting a space after the entry, sorta depends on the version of Word). Or a macro could be used to "type" the character.

For purposes of AutoCorrect, did you try assigning ;a and then seeing what
happens when you press ;A? Usually AutoCorrect entries that are created in lowercase will follow the case of what is typed when "correcting." In fact, I just tested this here, and it works as expected (that is, ;A generates Á). Also, FWIW, I find Word's built-in shortcuts quite efficient once you get used to them. -- Suzanne S.
