MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / March 2004simple question- how do I..
I just need to type the short accent symbol over an "i". It looks like a greater than symbol except it is above the dot of the i and is pointed upwards. Thanks > I just need to type the short accent symbol over an "i". It looks like a > greater than > symbol except it is above the dot of the i and is pointed upwards. You mean this: î ? Holding down left control + left shift, press the "6" key (for "^"), release the keys simultaneously and press "i".

To get "ç" or any letter with a cedilla, you would substitute "," for "^". To get "ü" or any letter with an umlaut, you would substitute """ for "^". To get "ğ" or any letter with a breve, you would substitute "." for "^". (This one's not so obvious.) To get "é" or any letter with an acute accent you would substitute "'" for "^". To get "è" or any letter with a grave accent you would substitute "`" for "^". I think that covers all the important bases.

On an English install of Office, it's : for umlaut, and there's no default shortcut for the breve. > On an English install of Office, it's : for umlaut, and there's no default > shortcut for the breve. ":" works on my system too. I'm surprised about the breve though. SignatureBob Kanyak's Doghouse http://kanyak.com > ":" works on my system too. I'm surprised about the breve though.

And standards once set never die. Did you know that the gauge of modern railway track was determined by the axles of Roman chariots? SignatureBob Kanyak's Doghouse http://kanyak.com I can't say that I have ever needed ? or ?, but I certainly use that method for a number of other characters - accented or umlauted.

Hi Doug, Actually, I question the use of it in this application but I'm just doing some rewrite on a second edition book on the history of harps. And there is the ancient temple (the Sin temple) which is supposed to have one of those little roofs :-) over the "i". I did a check on the web and no one else is using it but the author is a PhD and it is difficult to argue with that breed.
