My cousin in Poland types using his computer to type diacritical marks into Family Tree Maker with no problems. I have copy and pasted words into FTM using diacritical marks. They do hold form as the Polish letters do. There should be a way to allow you to use your computer to type them into anything you want. I used to have computer that I programmed to do this. Lost it in a fire. Don't know where to get the instructions on how to do this with my new computer. Maybe someone else knows how to do it.
