Well, I downloaded the 4.0 beta. Right off the bat when I tried to open the
.exe, it said that it was out of date and to contact the website. :>P~ I
sent them an email, no reply as of yet. I will share it when it is received.

I am almost always against using beta software except on a separate
test machine, and only if you are the kind of person who enjoys
fooling around with stuff like this and doesn't mind dealing with
problems. Stick to production versions. I use version 3.6.3


I would like to use the functions of the OS or anything in MS Word 2000.



Your choice, of course, but I don't understand that point of view at
all. I want to do something the best way I can find to do it.

To me, saying "I would like to use the functions of the OS" is like
saying "I want to use Microsoft Paint (because it's included with
Windows) rather than Adobe Photoshop."


Can you tell me what the hell I'm doing wrong, or not?




I have followed ALL of the instructions on the MS website, windows updates
Office 2000 instructions and more, to no avail. I have tried all documented
key combinations; I have assured that all forms of Latin text support are
loaded from the XP disk; I have tried multiple options and settings under
the US - International keyboard, and still there is no joy. No alternate
characters appear.

All three of his older PCs (Win-98 and upgrades to Ofc 2K from Ofc 97)
seem to have this function as a default, but they are slow and have no
hardware peripherals... and his ministry serves the latin population of the
community his church is in, so he needs the Latin alternate characters...
only about 10 of them actually.

Is this a font issue?

Where can I go to read more about this or garner troubleshooting tips?

How do I turn the damned thing on? ;-)


TIA,

DM

(I did download 3.6.3 and the patch, but we are trying to keep his brand
new PC free of unecessary OEM software if at all possible... it is to be
a dedicated office box for a small ministry, and we're going to be relying
on long term tech support -if necessary- on the MS products he has
purchased).



Thanks again.

Thanks Ken,
Just got it, looking forward to using it!


Great. After you've tried it for a while, let me (and others here)
know how you like it.

How does one enable alternate text characters for Spanish emphasis
using XP Home or MS Word in Office 2000?



I use and recommend a little freeware background program called
AllChars.

Should I assume that this means there is no standard 'alt' text function
included with the MS products??


No, don't assume that. You can use Character Map. You can use
Alt+numeric key combinations,. You can use the US International
keyboard.

As I said earlier, there's more than one way to do this. I just think
AllChars is by far the easiest to use.


My dilemma is that I just assembled a new PC for this gentleman who was
using a P-I, 233 with Win-98, and he had the function previously with no
known 3rd party software installed... only MS Office 2K.

TIA,

DM
