That's a very cool command I have never noticed in all the years with JAWS. Ted

It's a small o with a slash going through it, from about 2 o'clock to 7 o'clock. The slash extends past the circle of the O.

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Nicole, Can't be specific here, but you're looking for a Norwegian lower-case letter "o". Or perhaps Danish. Definitely not Finnish or Swedish. Dave Carlson San Francisco Bay Area Farfar,

Hi If folks have experience inserting pictures in to a Word document - including things like positioning, sizing and adding captions - I'd love some tips. Please post things that you have found

Re: inserting non-standard characters

It's also alt 248. But I need the degree symbol with the slash through it.

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Degrees is alt167. Don't forget, the insert+4 Jaws command will bring up a list of these oddball ansi characters too.

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Anyone got an ASCII code for the degree symbol or O with a diagonal line through it? I know about the zero with the line, Alt 0248, but I'd like the smaller one, as it's used in music for the

Re: inserting non-standard characters

I've been using it so long, I guess along the way, I for whatever reason inserted the insert button into my key combination with the control+apostrophy. Anyway... it still works. Good thing I looked

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Yes, it appears to work in any rich-edit window that doesn't disable it (I tried edsharp and hjpad, having already checked out wordpad). -- Soronel Haetir soronel.haetir@...

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Hello, I heard some where that this Ctrl+' followed by the letter e to produce é works only if the program running is based on a richedit control. MS Word fits that description, and so obviously

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Dave, So I went hunting for a document I saved back pertaining to different accented letters for foreign languages. I'll go ahead and paste it below for your review. Hopefully it will have what

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Hi Cristobal, Well, I liked your solution best because it seemed easiest, but for some reason, it doesn't work on my computer. If I use insert/shift, I just get a capital letter. If I use Shift/ctrl,

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Cristobal, Hmmm. I tried the Ctrl+Insert+apostrophe and a following letter a and only got a standard letter a -- no acutes applied. Is this intended to work in any editing field, or only with

Re: inserting non-standard characters

Using Spanish for the accented á, é, í, etc. I press the control+insert (caps locks works too) and apostrophy then the letter I wish to have accented. I do translation work and use the above

Re: inserting non-standard characters

No, that behavior (needing to run the editor elevated) is dependent on the version of windows involved not the version of jaws. You might also be able to get away with moving all the
