    How Do You Make an Acute Accent?

    EckleySP Community Member

      I would like to have a letter with the acute accent over the top - like you might see on the letter e in the word Cafe.

       

      Anyone know if this is possible when creating a title in Premiere Pro (CS4)?

       

      I'm on a PC.

          First type ' (single quote) then the e followed by the spacebar: é

          or hold down ALT and on the numerick path type 130.

           

          If you want a e with the accent to the left, hit the GRAVE and then the e followed by the spacebar: è.

          Or Alt+138.

           

          Google for: ascii character set.

            thats weird...

             

            for accent to right over e your solution didnt work...but ALT + 0233 works...  ascii code is 233 but I have to add the zero..

              Alt+0233 also works for me. I must have a magic keyboard.

              Does it not have anything to do with the language the keyboard is set to?

                  Rod,

                   

                  Also drag a shortcut to Character Map to your Desktop. I use it for all my wine writings. I find it quicker than memorizing the Alt+ ASCII keystrokes.

                   

                  Also, WordPerfect is very good with those characters, but often do not translate perfectly with Copy/Paste.

                    Thanks Bill...re: character map... used to use that a lot...but in one of my frantic forays into getting rid of all things microsoft to make my machine leaner I got rid of those accessory items...

                    However, I have some other type stuff ( fonts ) and downloaded ( today -  thanks to this thread ) an ascii pdf file that lists all the values...

                     

                    which basically takes the place of the character map ..dont have the ATM ( adobe type manager ) anymore ( Thank God )...for vector to bitmap ...you know...the fixed font sizes that was part of the postscript stuff....  ( which is still better depending on output ) ....

                     

                    But when I explored Ann's suggestion and tried it and it didn't work I got back up to speed with having what I need on my desktop to quickly access this stuff....without character map.

                      Rod,

                       

                      There is also a little free utility, with a name like All_Characters, that will do the same as Character Map.

                       

                      Might be worth a Google. A lot of people, with laptops w/o the number pad, used that.
