If you have a Windows-based PC, you have the capability to place accented characters in you text now. If so, find a small applet called key map or character map. It's icon looks like a 3-D keyboard key. Open it up, and select the system font set. You will see all 255 characters, including all your favorite accented characters to deal with most languages, including Czech. There are also other useful characters. Open the applet, and click on one of them, and down in the lower right corner you will also see an ALT code, that reads ALT + ####. For example, an accent "e" code is ALT + 0235. or � . Armed with this information you can go to work. I have a cheat sheet sitting in front of me with all the codes next to the character set. You can make one with your word processor. To make an �, just go to your keypad and ensure that your NUM LOCK in ON. Then, in any Windows program, yoy can type one of these special characters by holding down the ALT key then typing the four numbers on the keypad. You must hold down the ALT key while typing the 4 numbers. And, yes, there are other ways of doing this, but this works for me because it permits the most options including special characters like � � and �. Gary
