Foreign Characters
I have been trying to figure out on my own how to insert characters with accents à, è, é etc. (The latter three characters were put into this message using a program called Foreign Characters which costs $$$.) Can I use TB directly to put these in? How? I apologize if this has been answered in some FAQ list.

Hello Joseph, JN It's cumbersome, but you can use the Windows Character Map, which JN depending on your configuration is somewhere under Accessories or JN System Tools. Thought there might have been something built into TB to make this process a bit quicker.

Can I use TB directly to put these in? How? That depends entirely on your keyboard drivers / local settings. Here with my German layout I do simly press '`' followed by 'e' and end up in é The first key press seems to do nothing, but at least it only captures the special character and combines it with the next character, IF possible. e.g. '`' + 't' produces `t while '^'+'z' makes ¸ hIf you don't know how to activate this (build in) function for your locale settings there's stille the Character Map in Start / Program / Accessoires (maybe one brach deeper in System tools?). You should be able to locate these special characters there, copy them into clipboard and paste into The Bat!. And then, one day in the far future, you'll remember the ASCII or ANSI code for that chars (in Character Map in the lower right corner when selected) and be able to put them in any text editing window by pressing and holding Alt followed by the ASCII or ANSI code typed on your numeric block.

Thought there might have been something built into TB to make this process a bit quicker. Not necessary: it does not have to do with TB. As far as I know it has to do with your language settings in Windows *in combination* with your keyboard layout. with Dutch selected as language and American International keyboard layout, I can type all accented characters as if I was typing on an old fashioned typewriter: accent first, then character: à á ê etc. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62 X-mas ed. op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Foreign Characters
Hello Paul PS Thought there might have been something built into TB to make PS this process a bit quicker. Thanks! You can use Windows built-in support for entering 'foreign' characters. For example alt+0233 (on the numeric keyboard) produces é, alt+0232 produces è. The result will depend on the fonts you and your recipients are using, though. Do a Google search for ANSI character sets -- you should be able to download one. Alternatively, I have one in PageMaker format I could email you. -- Clive Taylor Using The Bat! v1.62 Christmas Edition Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Can I use TB directly to put these in? How? I apologize if this has been answered in some FAQ list. Install a second language keyboard with the US International layout. This will make the ', , `, ^ and ~ keys so called 'dead keys'. That means that they will not be entered in the text directly, but will try to combine themselves with the next character that follows. So pressing followed by e will produce ë, ' followed by e with produce é. And if you want the accent characters on their own, type the key followed by a space. You can configure your system so you can switch between different keyboard layouts using a hot key. The default hotkey to switch is Alt-Left Shift. -- Robert van der Hulst [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat!
