In concordance with several other posters, I have to point out that the 1978-ish '"a' gumpf is an ugly work-around, both in appearance and the trouble it is causing. To move into the current millennium, and allow your tools to natively handle the text, is the real fix. The Alt key is very convenient for input of e.g. ä, ü, ö, and it takes only a moment to make the mappings. (The fact that you speak of '"a' suggests you're not using a German keyboard.) Their use quickly becomes automatic, speeding entry of the subsequently readable input. Erik -- Patient: "Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this."
