Maybe if we have an international keyboard, and I think Windows, rather than Mac? I used to use the above method when I typed using Wordperfect in DOS a long time ago. For the standard US keybaords (M/soft) we can use the Alt codes, or the Insert option in the compose-message window (which for frequent work is too billy-bob in Netscape). I prefer the Alt codes. For a website about Alt codes, go here: http://www.forlang.wsu.edu/help/keyboards2.asp For Mac users, there is Key Caps option in the Apple menu, if it is installed, where you can choose special characters. Lace content: all going well, you should see "Tønder" as she is spelled <g> ø = Alt 0248 Some e-mail programs convert the code to more code, and some readers will see gibberish instead of the symbol. If I am having to type other characters often, e.g. if I'm typing a paragraph from a German lace book into a translator, I'll copy them into a message window from which I can cut and paste individual characters as required. -- Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com blogging lace at www.looonglace.blogspot.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
