this has nothing to do with this site but since most of you know I'm not a computer whiz I need some help. you know computer 101 ...
How do I put accents above a letter. For instance Schaar has the two dots above the a's.
Sorry for the dumb ? but I don't no how to do that..

thanks

You have to use the HTML code: so instead of putting the letter you use the code for the 'a with an umlaut' which is
& # 228 (no spaces but I had to put them so it didn't convert it to the script.)

Schäär = Sc& # 228 & # 228r (again, no spaces)

Here is a link to a table with all of the codes: http://www.lookuptables.com/

PS: that definitely wasn't a dumb question. I don't think most people would know how to do that and I have to look up the codes every time I want to use one.

Well, I learned something new today. Thanks Alex!!!

Yea--thanks, Alex
