Did you try first going to the insert+4 (on the numbers row) for the jaws list of commonly used special characters? Just type a repeatedly to see all the characters starting with a, which include capital and small, and similarly for o. Some may not be there but others are. FS needs to add them all... Of course this assumes you are a jaws user. I don't have much experience with others. Take care. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: Khalid To: guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005 9:00 PM Subject: [guispeak] How Can I Write Umlauts Hi, How can I type none caps a/o-umlaut?
