Debz Does http://www.freebmd.org.uk/vol_faq.html#3h provide the answer? "If a character is not included in the WinBMD Special Characters list it cannot be used in a transcription and you should use the unaccented character instead."

I recieved this email from one of my transcribers I have no idea what the ruling is on Special Characters I am transcribing scan 1940M2So185 and have come across a accent code (German I think) which I cannot find using the F4 function which is the “show special character table” The names I have discovered so far are Schon, Schonfeld, Schonmann The letter “o” has a character above it which I do not recognise. Any Ideas please??? I recieved this email from one of my transcribers and did't know the answer myself does anyone have a idea Thanks Debz Debz Syndicate N.Z. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FREEBMD-SYNDICATES-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
