how do i put two dots over the e in Zoe?
Zoe needs an two-dot accent over the "e" for pronunciation. How can I set up
my PC in Word and Outlook to add the marks every time I type the name? |

There is a built-in character, ë, in almost every font. You can enter that character in a Word document in any of these ways: - Use the Insert Symbol dialog (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...SpecChars.htm). - With NumLock turned on, hold down the Alt key while typing the number 0235 on the number pad. - Hold the Ctrl key while pressing the colon ( key; then release both keys and press the e key. When you have done this once and you have the word Zoë in a document, select it and make it the AutoCorrect replacement for Zoe without the accent (which is technically called a diaeresis) so you won't ever have to do it again. -- 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. |

How do you set the spelling check in Outlook to automatically change Zoe to
Zoë? I have recently upgraded to service pack 3 on Windows XP and the functionality no longer works. I am composing email messages in HTML and not editing with Word.

In addition to other mechanisms, I like the application "Allchars". This works the same in all application, so you only have to learn one way. With Allchars, I would tap Ctrl (not hold it) then type ":" and "e" and I would get the ë that I just typed. It handles all of the well-known accented characters out of the box, along with many other symbols. You can configure it for your own characters as well. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |
