Even better, for the OP, is to switch to the tex input method (M-x set-input-method RET tex RET)! In this case, you can type \"o to get ö. Almost all TeX and LaTeX sequences are understood (e.g. \forall to get ∀, \exists for ∃, \alpha for α, \leftrightharpoons for ⇋, and so on.) You can see all the characters with =describe-input-method=. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 23.2.1 : using Org-mode version 7.02trans (release_7.3.10.g7f79.dirty) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
