Type any of the symbols (carat, tilde, etc,) then type the letter you want
it to apply to.
Umlauts are from the shift-quote (double quotes).
Just play with it, you'll figure it out.
Oh, and now you have to put a space after quote marks to make them appear.
élse they become áccents.

I have occasion to use foreign characters frequently (French). Character
map is one horrible hassle (& incomplete, doesn’t have the Euro symbol €
at
all)-winXPhomeSP3. My keyboard does not have a “compose key” and multi
keystroke combinations in the office2007 instructions online do not seem
to
work (i.e. ctrl+ ` followed by the desired <example “e”> character is
sposta
give you the combo <example `è> but doesn’t).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key#cite_note-0 speaks of AltGr combo
but I can’t figure that out. My keyboard is an IBM SpaceSaverII without
keypad so ansi codes are a hassle. An on-screen popup would be cool to
have
(like in PocketPCs where you can use handwriting recognition and pop the
keyboard for funny stuff the thing doesn’t read).
Suggestions?
