Eleanor,
Fada is the irish word for 'long' and is spelled f a d a. (indeed,
there's a neighbouring townlland where i am called Carrigfada.)
perhaps the ctrl+apostrophe+vowel works only for certain keyboard
layouts but it's an MS Word keystroke so you need to be in an office
program for it to work. The acute or the grave (shift with acute) will
be grand for the fada.

Not for me it doesn't work Sean, I have tried in Word. However if I
press
the right Alt followed by a vowel I get the French acute sign. Now is
that
the same sign as the fodda? I have a niece whose name is órnagh with
the
accent or fodda on the O. People can never work the name out and find
it
simpler and most irritating for her they just call her Orla!
