thanks Marek, since she's from Poland I reckon that she's doing that already.<br>
But I'll check that. Do you have a polish keyboard available?<br>
I think using an extra program which alters the keys on the fly temporarily would be ok, I think.<br>
<br>
The ALT+code method just does not work, I tried that. Besides remembering all the codes is not really feasible.<br>
<br>
I looked at the keyboard and I didn't find the accents which are necessary for french and spanish, for instance.<br>
Tilde (~) and Trema (¨) are also unavailable. And so on ...<br>
Currently she's copying and pasting from a document, which is bad for the workflow.<br>
