Hello, Listers,
I've found the following website to be invaluable in using the accented
letters for German and other languages: Foreign Language Characters, Diacritics, Accent Marks, Computers, KeyBoard Help, kbh
This Univ. of Mass site shows how to set up the keyboard, gives a chart on
what to do get a particular accent, and lots of other information. It even
gives some information on using accents with a MAC.
There is an icon on my taskbar which I click. It allows me to switch from
the standard keyboard to the international one when I want to use accents.
Hope you will find this helpful.
