After failing to do the international keyboard thing I tried the allchars utility suggested by Mark -very good and no fiddly triple fingered key combinations.

Away from the "my operating system is better than your operating system stuff" - I'm like the rest of the World and I use the things that Bill sells to me. Also my keyboard is too old or too English or something to have the Alt Gr key.
I tried the link to braser whatever and the message says the page has moved and I can't find anything by hunting around. All chars did OK with the accented a etc but wouldn't work with the n tilde. The zipped up job wouldn't load properly and not for the reasons given on the webpage. So I'm still stuck with alt+164 and the like. Anything more? |

[quote=Cat;965]Sin,
http://www.braser.com/pr_mk1.html Thanks for that link...what a fab little program sitting very neatly on screen and so easy to use for a "plug and play" girl. This link is no longer available. Can someone tell me the product/program name so I can search for it. I am having a really hard time with the accents on my laptop. Thanks! |

In case you miss it, there is a link in one post to a blogspot with some very good stuff in it. I have had another look for the Brasher "More Keys" software but they do not seem to be providing it any more. |

Mozilla / english keyboard users may find this new add-on useful.
It enables Microsoft Keyboard shortcuts for international characters. Sorry I can't try it out as I have a Spanish keyboard. |

Using accent keys on a standard keyboard in Word
From the top line of files select Insert Click on Symbol In the font box select ( normal text ) On the 6th row down you will find á click on á and then click on shortcut key the cursor will blink in press shortcut key Press f5 key now press assign á will now appear whenever in the future you press the f5 key . Now do the same for each letter é f6 í f7 ó f8 ú f9 ñ f10 ¡ f11 and ¿ f12 You will find on the 7th row é í ó ú ñ The ¡ is 4 rows down near the centre And the ¿ is 5 rows down in the centre under the £ sign Cut out this strip it is better on card and stick it with blue tack on the keyboard above the f keys starting at f5 The spacing allows for the bigger gap between f8 and f9 Each time you want a special key just press the appropriate f key e/g á é í ó ú ñ ¡ ¿ Hugo |

[I checked both threads here on this subject and, to my surprise, did not see MicroSlop's own solution. Here it is...]
Microsoft's procedure for enabling accents in XP is given at http://support.microsoft.com/default...6560&sd=tech#2 I just now followed these instructions (took a couple minutes and a reboot) and now I type the accent I want [ ' ` ^ ~ ] and the character I want it on [a...u] and I get all this lovely stuff: á ç è ú ñ ã .... and I hold down [right-alt] and type ?/ or 1! and get ¿¡ [¡woo-hoo!] Very easy. Much easier than all the other goofy stuff mentioned... ![]() ![]() Because MicroSlop likes to change their links around periodically just to break stuff, and because you're unbelieveably lazy, I reproduce the instructions for you right here (see the link above for more characters and custom keys): =================================== Adding the United States-International Keyboard Layout [ ¡¡¡ XP ONLY !!! ] To add the United States-International keyboard layout, follow these steps: 1.Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2.Under Pick a category, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options. 3.Under or pick a Control Panel icon, click Regional and Language Options. The Regional and Language Options dialog box appears. 4.On the Languages tab, click Details. The Text Services and Input Languages dialog box appears. 5.Under Installed services, click Add. The Add Input language dialog box appears.6.In the Input language list, click the language that you want. For example, English (United States). NOTE: When you use the United States-International keyboard layout, you should also use an English language setting. 7.In the Keyboard layout/IME list, click United States-International, and then click OK. 8.In the Select one of the installed input languages to use when you start your computer list, click Language name - United States-International (where Language name is the language that you selected in step 6), and then click OK. 9.In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, click OK. Notice that the Language bar appears on the taskbar. When you position the mouse pointer over it, a ToolTip appears that describes the active keyboard layout. For example, United States-International. 10.Click the Language bar, and then click United States-International on the shortcut menu that appears. The United States-International keyboard layout is selected. =================================== Last edited by MissLena; 17th January 2008 at 03:47 AM. |

Caveat: that article also contains a bunch of other goofy stuff ![]() PS: Certain international characters are available in the standard UK keyboard configuration. |

Hi
Forgive me if I have missed the answer to the question I am about to ask. I use Vista and as yet have been unable to type the relevant accents. I am not a great computer user. Can anyone explain how I can use accents or a site that I can access. |

I think that the link on post #37 of this thread can apply to Vista.
