atw: Re: Technical Writer / Communicator - role title in French

You have to change it on the keyboard. The position of some characters
change as well.
German: =FC =DC, =D6=F6. =E4=C4, =DF (double s)
Norwegian: =E6 =C6, =F8 =D8, =E5 =C5,
French: =F9  =E8 =E7 =E0  =E9  =B5 =F6  (had accent circomflex in here =
somewhere too)
I'm really just checking if this works :^)
Cheers,
shonny

Ana,
If it was my posting, your colleague is a he.
A tech writer here is known as=3D20
"r=3DE9dacteur technique" for a male
"r=3DE9dactrice technique" for a female

The French are not afraid, embarrassed or angered to acknowledge gender,
they consider it an essential part if their individual identity.

The e accent aigue in "r=3DE9dacteur" looks fine when I compose the =
email,
but returns from the list as =3D3DE9 or something. If anyone knows how =
to
fix
this, I'd be happy to know.

Par contra, if you want to know the various ways of typing accented
characters on a non-European keyboard, contact me offline and I can send
you a short instruction. For example, one little-known trick for users
who work bi-lingually is to set the keyboard to "US International,
Standard French", which saves tedious copying and pasting from the
Character Map or switching keyboard layouts.
