Well, seán:

It works with some letters for me, in Microsoft Word; but not all. If I use it when I type the Irish word tá, it works: but if I then use it to type sé or sí, I get se or si respectively. If I use it to type the word í or é, it works. So while it may work werll for you, it won't work for all. To be honest, it's also not the handiest key combination. Might as well use that alt-gr key (the name for the joint alt-ctrl key on european keyboard layouts) right next the spacebar.

That is the combination I use and no one has complained yet!

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.

Ahoy Tony

Flor's instruction is good!

Another option is "Ctl '"
