Just a helpful hint, subject lines would be more coherent if there were
spaces between the words.

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.

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.)

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.

You'll find many of them listed when you go down the JAWSKey+4 select a
symbol to print list. Also, they are included in the Insert Special
Symbols dialogue in the Insert menu of Microsoft word. Know that a grave
accent is a shifted acute accent, so that ANSI225 is a-acute whilst
ANSI193
is A-Grave. the Spanish tilde-n is ansi241 and ANSI209.

I would like to know how I can get my French and Spanish accents going
please? I had a computer before, but someone else put them on when I was
studying French and Spanish. Your help is always appreciated. Thanks. kk.
If practise makes perfect, and nobody is perfect, why practice!
