Adding a hacek to a letter in Word 2004

[gpa...@fullerton.edu]

I need to add a hacek (a letter with a little v on top as an accent) to
some foreign words in Palatino. I recall using a formula of some sort
in Work 98 but I don't recall it or where I found it. Can anyone be of
assistance?

Thanks so much.

Hi,

Did you try Insert|Symbol?

Word 2004 implements full Unicode, so the most common 32,000 characters are
right there on the keyboard (if only you can find them....)

In Unicode, a hacek is named a "caron". I don't know why: I guess the
language that uses carons got to name the thing.

You will find them in the Latin Extended A subset of Unicode.

On your menu bar you see your national flag. Click it to reveal the
drop-down menu. Enable the Character Palette. Find your character and
insert it. For example: ě Č č

Read the Word Help topic " Ways to insert symbols and special characters".
You can set each of the international characters you are interested in up as
a keystroke or as an autocorrect, or you can remember the hexadecimal code
for it and insert it by typing the hex code. Choose the method that best
suits your working style. Most of us would probably use autocorrect.

For example: replace #cv with č

You can also look up AutoCorrect in the Word Help.

Hints: An Autocorrect Entry must be three characters to work properly. It
should begin with a character that is unlikely to occur in your text, to
prevent unwanted misfires.

Hope this helps

He probably did... It's not there :-) (At least, not with the default
fonts it isn't...)

Minor side note:

I think AutoText has to have at least three or four characters to bring
up an AutoComplete prompt, but I have plenty of two-letter
AutoCorrects. Never tried a single letter.

I guess they got caroned away. ;-)
