After a few tries, I figured out how to make the O with a forward slash through
it. Hold down the control key and hit the forward slash (/) key. Then release
both keys and type o (for a little o) or shift o (for a capital O). The O will
have a slash through it. Doesn't work for the other 4 vowels. I added the
slash-O to my list of accent marks, which are in a .doc file that I've attached
to this email, in case anyone is interested in it.
My question is: does anyone know how to make a macron appear above letters? I
haven't been able to figure that out yet.
Thanks, Carrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question About a Special Character in Names
I'm nearly finished validating this book in which most of the
characters are
Norwegian, or at least Scandinavian. A couple of the names start with
an O
which has a diagonal line running through it from lower left to upper
right.
Does anyone know what that is and how to replicate it on the keyboard?
Apparently, it does change the pronunciation of the name, because I
have the
NLS version and it is not pronounced O, as in Olvira, but more like
Elvira,
though not exactly. Hearing it pronounced, I would have said it sounds
something like an umlaut, but it doesn't look like one in print.
Thanks for any info.
Evan
