Hi DOnna, thanks, but it seems what I get is åe , which seems to give a different character and in fact two characters instead of one. Now you gave me an idea I had not tried I guess. It seems if you hit option-e, release, and hit the letter e, I get exactly what I want. So, yes, you helped and thank you so much. I just couldn't quite recall what I did and though and just didn't realize it was two keystrokes. I had it in my mind it was one keystroke. Now I have something to play with and I can try all sorts of stuff.
