Foreign characters

[Al]

How do I enter foreign language characters in Works 2000? By this I mean things
such as ~ over an n in Spanish or , under a c in French? Also, how can I put an
accent into either language?

Hi Al,

One way is to use the Character Map program that came with Windows.

Another is to use the Alt codes on the keyboard.

Hold down Alt as you type in the character code number.

Alt + 0245 gives õ
Alt + 0231 gives ç
Alt + 0227 gives ã
Alt + 0241 gives ñ

Alt + 224 gives Ó
Alt + 226 gives Ô
Alt + 228 gives õ

This makes use of ANSI and (Extended) ASCII character codes.

To use, press the NUM LOCK so the light is lit. Then using the numbers on
the right key pad, press and hold ALT and type the number you want. When
released it will be there.

Works 5/2000 is hopeless to do this and suggest you upgrade the garbage Works
5/2000 you have to Works 4.5a and your problems will be over.

David A -

I think I'm confused. The procedures for getting foreign characters
described by Kevin James and RoadRunner for Works 2... appear to be exactly
the same as those described in my Works 4.5a online help. What am I
missing?
