Hi Adrian, Almost! LOL I know you, & I know this was a typo! You said, "To be clear, you need first to turn the numlock off for the alt combinations to be accepted, and then turned back on for JAWS to work." Actually it's the opposite, To be clear, you need first to turn the numlock, on, for the alt combinations to be accepted, and then turn back, off, for JAWS to work. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: Adrian Spratt To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 7:50 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS
To be clear, you need first to turn the numlock off for the alt combinations to be accepted, and then turned back on for JAWS to work. Note that for many symbols/characters, I need to put them in the JAWS dictionary to have them spoken. How many may vary from synthesizer to synthesizer. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 6:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS I personally always found it easier and faster just to remember the alt-key combinations. This may be difficult though, depending on how many accents you need to use. I mostly use french ones, which are most acute and grave accents between 130 and 140 or so. So, to type an acute lower case e, for instance, you would hold down the alt key, and type "130" on your number pad. Not sure how this works in Windows 10 yet, but XP let you access a character map where you could search for and see the number values for all accented letters and symbols that are not available on the standard keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: October 18, 2017 5:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS Vicki, JAWS makes a number of accented letters available in a list that you access by pressing JAWS key+4 on the number row above the letters. You arrow down the list or navigate by first letter, then press enter on the one you want. Not all symbols are in the list, so it has limited use. I'll leave it to others to explain how to assign a keystroke to produce a given accented letter. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vicki W. Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 5:44 PM To: JAWS Subject: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS 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.
