Not if the accents are already there. With this book, the letters were part of an accent and weren't foreign, so the accented letters didn't come out without some fiddling. I pretty much expected I would have to do it, but I was hoping.

Isn't that changing the book's contents?

Hi Kim and Gary!

Also, foreign words aren't really correct without the accents.

Hi, Gary, you don't have to insert stuff, but if you want it to be really
spiffy, why not take the trouble to do that so that words like fiancee,
souffle, and puree have that E acute accent. It looks very nice and it
shows up in Braille as a dot 4. Regards, Kim Friedman.

I didn't know whether they were supposed to be inserted or not.
Thanks.

Hi, if you hit insert plus the number 4 on your computer there are signs
which you can insert into a text, especially umlaut, certain acute
accents, etc. I have a message which I can send you because the book I'm
proofreading requires certain accents. Can you write me back  if you're
interested. Email me off list and I'll be glad to send this stuff your
way. Regards, Kim Friedman.

My current book has accented speech with special characters being
used--umlauted as, es, and an i.  Where does the manual deal with this
and does anyone just happen to know what proper handling happens to be?
Thanks.
