I see this is like preaching to the choir as the experienced posters are responding...this was intended for the occasional visitor who only types a few german words a week.....But please add your own details of using foreign language accents...If you still use the double S symbol it is --Alt 0223--and yes they are actually ASC 2 codes--some of these methods do not work in certain applications--like instant message boards...Can you think of a German word the uses an e with an accute accent??? This is kind of interesting to me...thanks for your response at least I am learning some things...You guys rock.

I do it with the language bar also. On the bottom right hand side of my PC I have a little keyboard symbol, and from there I switch between English and German, like right now.....à à à , ä ü ö, Ã, and I even get the symbol for Fahrenheit or Celsius like 85°F, or 110°. That little zero comes in handy, since there isn't one on the American keyboard layout.

Or just use shift and " simultaneously, followed by a,o or u for ä, ö and ü, no remembering of codes... except for the ever necessary ALT-0128, ofcourse!

Why can't I just change my keyboard layout via the language bar to German then I only have to press one button each so I can get ä, ö, u, à etc. ;-)
