In Windows I used to hold down the Alt key and enter ASCII decimal number for the character I wanted. i.e. Alt + 130 to get an é. That does not work in any of my apps, Thunderbird, or forms in Firefox. Liberoffice and Thunderbird have menus for this but they are a pain in the rear and take ages relative to the keyboard. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Udvarias Ur This letter was generated and sent from Thunderbird on Ubuntu Linux. </pre> </body> </html>
