What special characters are you looking for? Word and Outlook have the facility
to create certain accented characters within them using two keystrokes, one to
define the accent and the second to choose the letter to take the accent. For
example, to create é, press Ctrl + apostrophe and then the letter e. Nothing
happens after the first keystroke, which determines the accent, and then the
second keystroke, which must follow the first immediately, i.e. without any
other key being pressed first, gets the accent.
Not many applications seem to have this facility, and as I don't use accented
characters very often, I use Word or Outlook to create them and then cut and
paste them into other applications.
I've got a list of the characters you can create this way; I'll hunt it down if
you want.

Hi,
How do you folks get special characters? With JFW I used to hit Ins 4 and
select them from an extensive list.
I've tried using the Windows Character Map but whilst it would read the Chars
to me I couldn't insert them into any edit fields.
Thanks,
Barry.
