Special (international) characters "NewsReader2K" <NewsREader2K[ at ]nyc.rr.com> 4/17/2007 4:25:54 PM I have an old laptop with Win95 & Word97 installed. It had been programmed (not by me) to automatically type ( é )by pressing the ctrl+e keys. Normally it's necessary to type ctrl+' (letter) to get the Apostrophe. I have a computer with WinXP and would like to program Windows/Word to do the same thing. Anyone have a clue on how to do this? Any info regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
