Here is the problem-du-jour...I'm trying to duplicate some French expression marks such as the following :"sans hate"...my problem, is that if I don't want general laughter coming from the orchestra, I need a circumflex over the 'a' in "hate" so that it means haste. Short of drawing them in, does anyone have a solution in how to get the foreign characters while typing in the create expression dialogue box? How about within the text tool, since there is no "symbol" box to click as in Word? Is the answer there to cut and paste from Word?
PS I actually just performed the cut-and-paste from Word experiment and it does indeed work, even in the create expression box...the question is now, is there a slightly easier method than keeping my word processor on standby for French duty?
You didn't mention the platform you're on. If you're on a Mac, you simply use the option key and various letters. On Windows, you configure your keyboard for various languages. If you're going to stay in that language, it's a little easier once thus configured. If you're jumping back and forth between English and another language, it's a pain. Let me know your platform and I'll give you the details.
