Linda, This is one of those areas where Word and WordPerfect are different. In Word you can indicate a number of international characters in two steps; first you indicate the accent and then you indicate the character. To get an N with a tilda over it, you press Control + tilde (on a UK keyboard, that's Control + Shift + #), then press n. Note that nothing seems to happen when you press the keys that denote the accent, and you have to press the character within about 5 seconds of indicating the accent. JAWS also has a way of inserting accented characters; press Insert + 4 to get a list. You can use this in any edit area, not just Word.

When I was working a very long time ago (grin) I used Wordperfect. There was a way to type two characters on top of each other. I think it was called "strikeover". Does anyone know how to do this in MS Word? I have searched the help screens and find no answer. I am of the opinion that the help area in 2003 is worse instead of better than previous versions. I need to type an "n" with a tilda over it. This trick can come in handy every once in a while. Thank you.
