Ally68 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 This has been bugging me for a while. Althought I have a German keyboard I am unable to put accents above letters in other languages. I have done it before but can't for the life of me find out how I did it. Can someone put me out of my misery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hi Ally, there are several ways to do this. the best way is with a normal english keyboard and using ALT codes. But as you have a german keyboard, you need to change the default keyboard setting to german. in windows XP Start> control panel > Regional and Language options Languages - Details.. Just add german keyboard and things should be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgksheff Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 If everything else fails, a slower way is by using "Character Map" from >Start > Accessories > System Tools. Doh! Must be going blind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddycoffee Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hopman, that is my preferred method, but remember you have to use the numeric keypad for the numbers. I was trying to do this for years and failing to get it to work before someone told me what I was doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
