Here's how, As you hold down the Alt key, type on your numeric keypad the decimal code for the character (this is in Wordperfect and Netscape) ä= 132 Ä= 142 ö= 148 Ö= 153 ü= 129 Ü= 154 ß= 225 and £= 156 (The English Pound Sterling symbol) If it doesn't work I've got the ANSI number code that'll do the same thing. Good typing, Carl Spaeth Kensington, Maryland USA Neva & Donna Muehlenbein wrote: > > Can anyone tell me how to write the German Alphabet with my keyboard?
