Is there a lyx way to put two dots over an e (not in maths mode)? 
My name has such a character in it :) In latex it is \"{e}.

You can bind this to a short cut key. Search wiki.lyx.org.

 

Hi,

Thanks very much for that answer.  Sadly my problem seems a little more 
complicated.  I am using prosper (Weiss layout) and want the character 
in the author field of the title page.  When I do accent-umlaut e as you 
suggest, lyx shows it beautifully. However, the letter is completely 
omitted in the postscript  version as if it hasn't been typed at all.

I have attached a very simple lyx file to show what I am doing.

Any help is very much appreciated.
