And at that, the ctrl-shift-# key does not work in the US keyboard layout in Microsoft Word. (Neither will its shift-3 'number' key work in trying to produce an accent sign.) You can switch keyboard languages 'on the fly', and investigate these matters for yourself or selves. - Original Message - From: Flor Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 8:00 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] could someone please help me with frenchandspanish accent symbols please? Steve, The number or 'hash' key (what they sometimes call the 'pound key' is different on the US keyboards. Our # [number] key is a backslash key there. - Original Message - From: Griffiths, Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 9:45 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] could someone please help me with french andspanish accent symbols please? I'm using the keyboard that came with my Optiplex 755. It's a standard Dell keyboard, model number SK-8115, with 105 keys and set for UK use. As far as I understand, the features that I've mentioned are within Word or Windows XP, rather than being functions of the keyboard.

Hi Steve, Could you let me know what type and how many key keyboard you are using? It sounds interesting and also sounds like it has a lot more functionality than my MS Ergonomic 101/102 key keyboard. I would truly appreciate any information you can provide me with. Thanks much.

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.

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. - Original Message - From: kk.
