Jerônimo and Folks: CP is right about the handy use of AutoCorrect for the irregular (for English writers at least) spellings that crop up in our correspondence. It's nice to know, though, that the use of punctuation characters can be incorporated. Thanks CP, I hadn't thought of that; my solution was more cumbersome.
Example: as a job hunter (and an anally retentive one, at that) I utilized a dummy word "raysumay" (phonetically spelled as a memory key) that autocorrected to "résumé". A better solution, now that I see it, would be "re/sume/". I'll go back and revamp my collection of dummy spellings to your more consistent approach. Thanks to all for the hard work. I'm looking forward to the full 2.0 release. Best regards, Bill Ringleman (Dayton, Ohio) CPHennessy wrote: >On Thursday 18 August 2005 19:44, Jerônimo Backes wrote: > > >>Hello there.
