What software/hardware are you using?

If in some way you are using jaws (i.e. jaws with word) then  you can press 
insert+4 (that's four on the numbers row) and you will get a list of 
characters to choose from.

Press enter on the character that meets your needs.

The three a characters you get are: á Á and æ.

Hope this helps.

p.s. even if you're using a program like kurzweil or openbook to proof with, 
there are ways to get these characters into those programs. Just let us 
know.

Bob

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Advice requested


Hi, I'm proofreading a science fiction book. I'm reading the second
story in the anthology. Part of the story takes place in Brazil. There's
a discussion of Sao Paulo. The advice I need is how to put in the
correct accent mark for the A in Sao Paulo (Paulo doesn't use an accent
mark. I know how to write it in Braille, but I don't know which ASCII
character to use for the A in Sao. Please write me back as I wish this
to look right. Many thanks for the help. Regards, Kim Friedman.
