Mikey, I don't know what kind of maching or word processing software you're using. I use Microsoft Word on my Mac and, formerly at work, on a PC. There are, if you experiment, key strokes. I made a list years ago. Option plus lower-case e will give you the accent you want for Leon (acute). I forget what grave is. But there's also, if you have an Insert file at the top (or whatever it's called, in it is something called Symbols, and if you click on that there is a whole table of things -- umlauts, accents, copyrgith symbol -- many more. If you click on that and then on insert it will put the right accented letter where it belongs. I hope that's reasonably clear. Cindy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
