You have to change it on the keyboard. The position of some characters change as well. German: =FC =DC, =D6=F6. =E4=C4, =DF (double s) Norwegian: =E6 =C6, =F8 =D8, =E5 =C5, French: =F9 =E8 =E7 =E0 =E9 =B5 =F6 (had accent circomflex in here = somewhere too) I'm really just checking if this works :^) Cheers, shonny -----Original Message----- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Reginald Hardman Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 7:00 AM To: austechwriter list Subject: atw: Re: Technical Writer / Communicator - role title in French Ana, If it was my posting, your colleague is a he. A tech writer here is known as=3D20 "r=3DE9dacteur technique" for a male "r=3DE9dactrice technique" for a female The French are not afraid, embarrassed or angered to acknowledge gender, they consider it an essential part if their individual identity. The e accent aigue in "r=3DE9dacteur" looks fine when I compose the = email, but returns from the list as =3D3DE9 or something. If anyone knows how = to fix this, I'd be happy to know. Par contra, if you want to know the various ways of typing accented characters on a non-European keyboard, contact me offline and I can send you a short instruction. For example, one little-known trick for users who work bi-lingually is to set the keyboard to "US International, Standard French", which saves tedious copying and pasting from the Character Map or switching keyboard layouts. =3DC0 bient=3DF4t Reg On Wed, 17 Mar 2004 13:40:40 -0800 (PST), "Ana Young" <ana_young2000@xxxxxxxxx> said: > Hi, >=3D20 > Last year sometime, a colleague from France posted an > email to the list.
