When you are in that symbol dialog, you can tab to shortcut key to add a
keyboard shortcut you can use. Put the keystroke you want for that symbol
in the press new shortcut key field edit.
Also would it be quicker for you to use the insert 4 dialog? Are all the
characters you need there?

Thanks for that! The problem with that method is that it takes ages to type
the Spanish/French and German documents I type every day. The way I use
allows me to do it quickly and it worked with Jaws 5. I cannot understand
why it does not work in version 7....
Thanks also!
Andrew.

HI
All advice I can give you: go into word, go into the insert menu and
choose symbol. Then in this multi page dialogue select the special
characters tab. select the characters you want. Now copy the character you
want to be inserted into an internet form field or e-mail message. Copy it
from word and go to the form field or message you want to insert it and
paste it there.

Subject: foreign characters in forms
Dear list,
I have Jaws 7 and windows 2000 and XP home edition. I have recently
upgraded to Jaws 7 from 5 and I am encountering a problem when typing
foreign characters in MS word documents.
To get the é ó, ú and á, one is to press altgram plus the voyel. With í,
one is to press a different set of keys since if not, we will enter insert
mode or overtype mode. However, I have pressed altgram I since it works in
forms mode in the Internet.
What happens is that Jaws does not allow me to do anything if I do this.
Everything I press will have ctrl added to the convination of keys I am
actually pressing and windows key will not work. I am forced to do a hard
shut-down to get it to work again.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem. If there are any Spanish
users with an English keyboard setting who have solved this, please let me
know. Also, if you have to write foreign characters in outlook express to
send E-mails, how do you type them since it does not work like Word...?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards and thank you once again,
Andrew.
