Character set problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have a P4 Windows XP system (English, UK) with SP2.

Problem: In most - but not all - programs when I try to insert an
accented letter 'e' (e-acute), an inverted N with an accent mark on
top is displayed instead.

I use a US keyboard, and the regional settings/language is set to
English U.S.

In IE, encoding is set to auto-select.

I have tried different encoding settings, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Anton

Hi

How are you trying to insert that character? Have you tried using Alt + 138
(Numeric Keypad)?

The correct sequence is Alt+0233 as in é.

Slip of the finger:

Alt + 130 (Numeric Keypad)
