Re: [LegacyUG] Â Â Â
Doug, This mark is called a diacritical mark. Many languages which use the Roman alphabet also use diacritical marks to show how the word is pronounced and/or the word's meaning. Google diacritic to find more info. JimS On 11/04/2013 08:34 PM, Douglas Tighe wrote: Can someone please explain the uses of this letter  . which quite often is used.

Re: [LegacyUG] Â Â Â
Doug, Don't believe this has nothing to do with Legacy. If you need to enter a word having a diacritical mark, then Legacy must be able to store and present it properly. That in turn means that your computer must store and reproduce data with diacritical marks. I've had to make certain adjustments with my operating systems (OS) to be able to enter words with diacritical marks in Legacy. I've seen failure to display such with some programs, as Brian pointed out below. I use diacritical marks with Legacy and have experienced not problems once I made necessary keyboard adjustments to my OS.
