I have just been given a new name from a cousin to insert in KKP v3.2.1 and subsequently import into TD v4.0. This surname has a French accent on an "e" and also an umlaut on another "e" in the Christian name. I have searched in help in KKP and TD and nothing came up?
It is not a critical problem that worries me unduly, but are accents hidden somewhere, Nick? I know in OpenOffice and WordPerfect I can access various special characters such as these, and put them in my text.
Perhaps it complicates the software for the occasional need?

Re: Accents on letters?
Hi,
This is the standard Windows method for typing special characters:
If necessary, enable Num Lock (the light should be lit) on your keyboard by pressing the NumLock key.
While holding down the Alt key, type 0 followed by the decimal code for the ANSI character using the numeric keypad.
When you release the Alt key the ANSI character is added.
For example, to get ë use Alt+0235.
