Accents marks in Ms Works

[YANKEE DAN]

How do I give a letter an accent mark in Ms Word?

 

[ShinigamiSama]

you need to select a special charactor

theres a dropdown button on the top bar

its either an ampersand &
or a pilcrow sign ¶
possibly a hash #
should be on the farright of the bar

I use openoffice so I'm just working off memory on this one

You can use the Character Map in Windows. It's under Start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools.

Find the accented letter you want, click on it, hit the copy button, and then Paste or Ctrl+V in your word Doc. Alternately, you can type in the code that shows in the corner of the character map window.

I don't know why, but the codes don't work on my laptop...maybe Harold or someone will be along to tell me why.

for the laptop you need to turn on numlock

which usualy requires you to hit function lock first
mine does
and it works
took a while to figure it out though

Oh, man, I never would have thought of that! You're right, it works perfectly though!

Thanks, SS! It doesn't work on Lit for some reason (it triggers a search ), but it's fine in my email and Word, of course.

no prob
I only noticed it because on a PC I had to work on numlock was off by default
and I was trying to input a pilcrow
so I turned on numlock thinking nothing of it
then I looked at my laptop and went: hmm...
hope that helps hun

Erika, I know for a fact that Lit used to be capable of accepting the character codes as I would occasionally use the Alt + 130 to finish off the word "touche" with the correctly accented e. Somehow that feature disappeared at some point, perhaps when the site went through one update or another. Personally I find it a disappointment to not be able to spell words correctly but c'est la vie.

In MS Word, to get a letter with an accent mark I click on Insert, then Symbol, then select Normal Text, and find the letter / accent mark I want there. I didn't know there were so many other ways to do it. You learn something new every day.

Are you using Firefox? I wouldn't be surprised if it works in some browsers and not others.
