Typing Accented Vowels in Windows

[Bruno Aeschbacher]

Jim,

Thank you for the tip - I tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't work. It
might have to do with the fact that my Windows XP is a French version. I
found a set of accented Russian vowels on the Internet and copied them into
Notepad, from where I paste them into my document whenever needed. A bit
cumbersome, but the only solution I found so far.

Regards,
Bruno.

Bruno,
   You can add a Unicode acute accent to the last character typed by holding
down the Alt key and pressing 769 on your numeric keypad (at the right of a
standard keyboard), as long as the current font is a Unicode one.
