Hi Lina, try this. Press Insert (Jaws key) plus num row 4. A list of such characters should come up. You can arrow down through it to explore what's there or, for a quick answer to your need of the moment, press the letter n and you'll have arrived at the lower case enya. Just hit Enter, and it will be inserted at your cursor position in the Word document. Hope this helps. Just as an example, I'll type the Spanish word for autumn, below, with an n tilde (the enya character): otono. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Yacks" <lyacks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 1:39 PM Subject: Ms Word 2003 question Hi, I have a question. 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. Linda Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
