you could add the accented word to the jaws dictionary and as someone mentioned some are readily available with jawskey plus numrow4 and you down arrow through the list that comes up to select the one you wish to use. the only other way to create the special characters is to use the alt key and turning numlock on and typing in the ascii value of the character where needed. for example รก (a acute) is created by holding down the alt key and with numlock on typing 0225 and then releasing the altkey.

Is there a way to have JAWS automatically add accent marks in a foreign language word when writing in English?

For example, if I were to write the name Therese which is a French name but I am writing the document in English, can the correct accent marks be either added or automatically set to add any time I write the name?

If I need to add them manually, how can I locate them on the keyboard? Not all of them are on the standard typing keyboard.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

Vicki
