In responding to a post by one of our members from Portugal, I realized that I could not address him by name. The reason is that his name contains a letter with an accent mark above it.
I tried to search for an explanation of how to produce such characters for use in this forum. Nothing showed up. Maybe I didn't think of the right search terms. I couldn't find this information in F.A.Q. either. So, could someone take a few minutes to explain how? Thanks, Sid

If you are using Windows, click Start, Run..., and type "charmap" (no quotes) and click OK.
Hope this helps! BTW, this is how to say "Café": for the "é" hold down alt and on the number pad type 1-3-0. |

The easiest way? Highlight, copy and paste. If you don't know those shortcuts - you should learn them! They're invaluable to me when coding.
Somebody kick me off the computer, will ya?

Dancin carrot, you don't need to do that to write the word Café here. I added that word without the accent mark to the "bad words" list, and it is automatically replaced with Café with the accent mark. But thank you for posting the shortcut - I need to learn those as well!

You dont need the codes
just use "Ctrl+Alt" and the letter you want to accent. Ctrl+Alt + a e i o u = á é í ó ú Ctrl+Alt+Shift + a e i o u = Á É Í Ó Ú |

Thank you all for your advice.
Dancin' Carrot's best suits my needs. I was aware of ascii codes but didn't realize (stupid me) that they would work here. Regards, Sid
