Thanks for that, but what do you mean by control shift and number? I also need the circumflex, and how do I get the grav to work? kk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Griffiths, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 9:27 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] could someone please help mewithfrenchandspanishaccent symbals please?
Here are a couple of other options you may want to explore. In Word, the following keystrokes can be used to insert French or Spanish characters): Control + apostrophe, e gives é Control + grave, e gives è Control + comma, c gives ç Control + Shift + #, n gives ñ Those are the ones I know about - are there more accented characters you need? Only the first of these works for me in Outlook 2003. I don't have Word as my e-mail editor and if I change the setting so it is, all the above keystrokes work in Outlook too. If you intend to use these other languages a lot, you can add the ability to switch your keyboard language between English, French and Spanish. This has far-reaching effects, for instance with it set to French, the top line of the main part of the keyboard, which in English contains the numbers, has these characters in place of numbers 1 to 0: & é " ' ( - è _ ç à I haven't tested the following with JAWS, but can see no reason why it should be a problem. To add another language to your keyboard, go to Control Panel, Regional and Language options, Languages page. Use the Details button to open another dialogue and use the Add button to select the language you want. Note that Spanish Spanish is listed as "Spanish (Traditional sort)". Once you have more than one language set up, you can switch between them with Alt + Shift.

After I told you about the JAWS symbol to print dialogue, I told you about the insert symbols - special - dialogue in Microsoft word, which also gives the keystrokes for them. Basically, an accent sign is often formed by pressing a key with the alt and ctrl keys together, and these together with the shift key to form the grave accent version. Thus, we can have "_Buenos _días, _SeÑor" in Spanish, correctly accented! (Con apologias, I have a wrong accent sign in that mix.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "kk." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 7:37 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] could someone please help me with frenchandspanishaccent symbals please? Hi there. I found the accents, but is there a way I can do the hot keys instead of scrolling down the symbals until I find the one I want? thanks.kk. ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Flor Lynch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 2:58 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] could someone please help me with french andspanishaccent symbals please? > You'll find many of them listed when you go down the JAWSKey+4 "select a > symbol to print" list.
