If that is the only way to do it in WE then you guys should think about getting 
one of the gurus to start scripting! In Jaws it's Insert 4 and you have all the 
special characters there in a dialog to choose from in any application.

Cheers,

  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.
