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!

Ahoy Guys
Sorry for the confusion!
Press CTRL apostrophe followed by the required vowel.
Humblest apologies!

Ahoy Sean yourself!
I have tried CTRL apostrophe but nothing is happening!
I use Jaws 10.
I have "all sails set" on Flor's though!
Thanks anyway.
