Thank you very much, Luiz and Andre! :)))) I get it to work now! certain names just don't look right without proper characters ;)
The way I do it now is press the TEX button, write /aa but with brackets around it. saw that somewhere in one of the help files. It works. i.e. {\aa} in red. I'll try it the other way too. Now I'll just copy and paste it everywhere I need it. Lucian, isn't it supposed to be slash-o instead of backslash-o? i.e. IMO the slash goes down-left to up-right? What language are we talking, norsk? In norsk it's slash, not backslash. For me: ALT GR - O jonas
