synaesthesia Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Hi, does anyone know if there's something special we need to do to enable the use of accents, umlauts etc in Word, Powerpoint online etc? The usual shortcuts of ctrl+` then the letter don't work regardless of browser.
elsiegee40 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 According to Microsoft they should... https://support.office.com/en-us/article/keyboard-shortcuts-for-international-characters-108fa0c1-fb8e-4aae-9db1-d60407d13c35
Steve21 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 I thought the ctrl versions were Office owns so wouldn't work via browser, but the alt one's should work as it's built into windows. (YMMV) alt138 would give è etc Steve
synaesthesia Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 Aye, that's not much good when typing whole essays in French
Steve21 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 No option to just give them the option of using the french keyboard layout then? Or is it on and off usage? Steve
synaesthesia Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 It'll be doable when we move to win10, not going to spend time on it for the last few weeks of 7; assuming they'll be able to cope with a french keyboard layout on UK keyboards. It's going to be quite common for pretty much every languages department surely!
Steve21 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 If its your domain machines any reason you aren't just using office? O.o I assumed this was their own devices/streams etc Steve
synaesthesia Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 We are using Office and we've advised they use the full office suite if using accents heavily. It was just a matter of convenience when a file is emailed through or shared on onedrive to be able to edit it there and then.
