Hi All, To finish this thread from me on this, just tried ctrl alt/ctrl GR with the five vowels in OE and it's working like a dream for us !

Yes I started the thread and it works for me what Flor wrote for OE. What exactly Sean do you use that in? Say programme, version and the like? Just a question!

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Kavanagh" <seany2@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:21 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: Equivalent of a Fada Ahoy Eleanor That is the combination I use and no one has complained yet!

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!
