i DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN FIND AN EASIER WAY, SHORT OF RE-ASSIGNING The
CTRL-ALT-i KEYSTROKE. The ANSI value of i-acute is 0237; and you can
type that in using the numberpad (by turning numlock on, then pressing
and holding down the alt key, and typing from it 0237 ). Any character
has an ANSI value, and several have ASCII values. ANSI and ascii ARE
TWO ALTERNATIVE CODES OF REPRESENTATION, NOW BEING superseded BY
uNICODE.

Hi Tim, Thanks, I'm sure that would be the answer if I was putting up
html,
but I neglected to say that Our news thing is php and normally it is
possible to lash in a word document and it is happy, except for the
accented
letters. Is there a way of getting an I accented, without it putting
me in
to overtype mode instead? I am going through documents looking for and
removing the accents prior to putting the item in.

Hi Ed,
I think you will need to replace the letter with the fada with the
latin-1 name of the symbol in question.
Note that latin-1 is the standard alphabet used on most western
european
computers.
For example, if you want to represent e acute in a web page, and in a
way
which will appear the same regardless of the operating system the page
is
viewed on try this:
Replace the e acute symbol in your html file with:
É
Then save the html file and load it into your browser.
You will need to replace all letters with fadas with the correct name
of
it. You could do this with a search and replace in your favourite
editor.
I believe that some html editors do this for you, but I don't know
which
ones.
Give it a try and let us know how you get on.
Tim

Hi folks, I have the reverse problem as I need to take them off in
Irish
pieces I put up on our news site, as it can't cope with them and puts in
questionmark typed things. What I have found though is that the right
alt
key works fine with everything except "i" at which it toggles between
insert
and overtype modes. Any enlightenment?

Hello Brian
In Ms. Word use the Alt key on the righthand side of the spacebar in
conjunction with any of the vowels to put a fada on them - e.g. a i m s
z
