Hi, Mark. You asked about: MDP> ...generating accented characters using prefix key combinations
Anne-Sophie responded: ASH> It works perfectly... with a US Keyboard, layout set as "United ASH> States-International" Anne-Sophie's advice will work very well for you in any version of Windows since Windows 98 and with any keyboard. I don't remember whether Windows 95 supported it. If you're using Windows 98, go to Control Panel, Keyboard, Language tab, Add..., choose: English (United States) and have your Windows 98 installation CD ready, then press Properties and choose "United States-International", check off whether to "Switch Languages" by "Left Alt+Shift" or "Ctrl+Shift", and check off "Enable indicator on taskbar". To see what any language keyboard does, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/keyboards.asp Try the US-International layout. An emulation will pop up. Note the "AltGr" key to the right of the spacebar. It's simply the right-Alt key on a U.S. keyboard. When you press it, the keyboard will become accent-capable. The accented characters will work in ANY Windows program, including Word, Notepad, Wordpad and, yes, WordPerfect. To quickly switch from your default UK keyboard to US-Int'l and back, use the shortcut keys. The taskbar will clearly show what keyboard emulation you're using.
