You can insert "special" characters via the Insert>Special Character menu. The panel that opens also shows the Unicode representaion of the character you choose in both hex and decimal.
Keyboard shorcuts can be viewed and edited via the Tools>Customise>Keyboard menu. Depending on your Operating System there are different methods of entering "non-keyboard" characters. For example, on Windows, you can use the free software from - http://www.personal.leeds.ac.uk/~ecl6tam/ (which I have used) or from - http://www.cardbox.com/quick.htm (which I have also used) or from - http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx which I've never tried. The paper at http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/dev/Unicode-KbdsonWindows.pdfmight also be of interest. I don't know about Linux, Mac or other OS's. If that's what you need, please tell us and someone here will almost certainly be able to help. You say " (Ex. I need to get the line about e when typing)". This is the bit I really don't understand. Please explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve so that we can help you. If you mean you want to enter an "e" with a grave or acute accent or with an umlaut then Insert>Special Character will work as will either of the first two links above. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
