Typing Accented Vowels in Windows

[Katie Janicka]

Bruno,

In MS Word you can try Combining Diacritical Marks (Insert, Symbol, and in
the field Subset choose Combining Diacritical Marks). There you assign a
shortcut key to a diacritical mark of your choice. When typing, you first
type a letter, then the shortcut key for your accent.

Good luck,
Katie

>> Dear Seelangers,
>>
>> Do you know if there is an easy way to type stressed (accented)
>> Russianvowels (á, é, ý, etc.) in Windows XP SP2:
>>
>> - using the standard Russian keyboard layout provided with Windows XP
>> (i.e.
>> without installing a third-party keyboard driver)
>> - using a standard Unicode font provided with Windows XP which
>> includes the range "non spacing letters" (eg Lucida Unicode)
>> - which will let me type accented letters anywhere in Windows, not
>> just in MS Word where it seems to be relatively easy to do so.
>>
>> Many thanks in advance!
