paul3vanz Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 in Word go to Insert > Symbol then find them on there or:For the ß symbol:Hold down CTRL+SHIFT, press AMPERSAND (&) then let go and tap the letter S.For the ä symbol:Hold down CTRL+SHIFT, press COLON ( then let go and tap the letter A, put caps lock on to do it in capitals.bit fiddy, that's the only way i can think of doing it, short of having those keys on your keyboard or setting up a macro.hope this is of some use to you.Paul.
