Hi there, Does anyone know if one could produce accents for foreign languages (Spanish, Italian etc.) using word-perfect or another pc-based word processing software. Any pointers would be highly appreciated. -Jaffar (jaffar@grad1.cis.upenn.edu)

For WP 5.x, try Ctrl-V followed by the accent, the letter, and then <return>. For instance, to type an n with a tilde over it, you would hit Ctrl-V ~ n <return>. FYI, this is documented in the manuals and in the on-line help. -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | Angular momentum makes the world go 'round. ...!umich!leebai!mudos!mju |

Using WordPerfect 5.0 or 5.1 ( I don't know aboout other versions )
there are accented characters using the COMPOSE feature. Characters
may also be made by combining an accent with a letter, even if
this is not in the character set. In version 5.1, the characters
will be drawn in graphics mode on a printer which does not have
them in its character set ( if the printer has graphics. )PZ2@psuvm.psu.edu (David L. Phillips) (08/29/90)

WP 5.0 and 5.1 both allow you to combine various elements to create special letters such as you describe. You can program the speciasl keys yourself. No problem.
