Hi, I am sorry I know that this was on the list once over the last month but I can't find the message with the information in it. I am trying to find out how to determine the code number for a special character. It is an umlaut which is not in the default character list. I know that there is a way to go to the letter and press a key combination to identify the Unicode number but don't remember the proper key combination to identify it. thanks for your help, Dixie
