Sure, Bruce. I'm smiling, because I'll bet you don't like this way of producing such characters, priding yourself on knowing all those ANSI key combos. but anyway. Try Insert nun row 4, hit e until you come to the upper or lowercase e acute, hit enter, and there you go. No, it doesn't answer your question as to why that stuff happens to you, and it's not the cool power user method you probably prefer. But it'll get you an e acute without a hassle. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <dogriver@xxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 6:38 PM Subject: E-Acute Changing Key Echo Can anyone reporduce this? I have key echo set to none by default. If I'm in Word (2000 at work, 2002 at home, JFW 6.2 in both cases), and I hit a control+apostrophe followed by the letter e for an e-acute, my key echo invariably switches to character. Does anyone have any ideas?
