Adding Foreign-Language Characters

If the vocabulary database that you are editing includes a foreign language (French, German, Latin, Spanish), you can add foreign language characters into the words and clues. You can use one of the two methods shown below to add the foreign language characters. You must be editing an existing word or adding a new word for the language characters to display.

Adding foreign-language characters using the palette:

  1. To display the foreign language characters palette, choose Language Characters from the Edit menu.

  2. Ensure that your insertion point is located where you want the foreign language character to be inserted. Double-click the character.

Adding foreign language characters using shortcut keys:

The keyboard shortcut for any foreign-language character consists of two sets of keystrokes—one for the diacritical mark and one for the letter.

  1. Enter the keystroke for the diacritical mark. For example, to create an umlaut press Ctrl + Shift + :.

  2. Enter the keystroke for the letter.

NOTE: To view the keystrokes for the foreign-language characters, display the foreign language palette as described above.
