Pat,

Thanks for your response - after reading it I went back and seemingly did
the same thing over again - and it worked! Good Grief!

In my previous go-around I had checked Caps Lock as you suggested, but it
was off.

I hope all is well down there in Australia. It's springtime down there I
suppose - being in Vermont, USA, I'm jealous.

Thanks again,
Dale

My guess is that you have CAPS Lock on, or have Formatted the Font to
display as All Caps.

Be clear that the process is CTRL + : followed by letter - either upper
or
lower case.

(Since : is SHIFT + ; this equates to CTRL + SHIFT + ; although I
feel
that that muddies the water.)

Hello,

I am using Office 2003/SP2 with XP/SP2.

While using Word, I can use the <Ctrl+Shift+:>,letter method to
generate
uppercase letters with an umlaut. However, I cannot use this method
to
create lowercase letters with umlauts.

I've seen various instruction on what one should do to for lowercase
letters. Some say use <Ctrl+:>, letter. This persists in giving an
uppercase
umlauted letter. I've tried this and seemingly every other
conceivable
combination, and everything gives uppercase only.

Even if I go to Insert/Symbol and pick a lower case umlauted character
from
the symbol chart and click insert, I still get an uppercase character.

Specifically I just want to be able to insert lowercase umlauted a,u,
and o
without having to resort to the Alt + numeric code method.

Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution?

Thank You,
Dale
