1. Re: How Do You Make an Acute Accent?
Ann Bens Jul 2, 2010 8:57 AM (in response to EckleySP)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.

Ann Bens Jul 2, 2010 12:14 PM (in response to able123)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?

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.

able123 Jul 2, 2010 1:22 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)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.

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.
