You forgot the accent over the final "e" but I knew what you meant. GRIN
My e key didn't have one. That must be on French keyboards.

Wintel: Hold down ALT and type in 130 on the numeric keypad = é

Not quite as intuitive as cleaving an apostrophe to a lower case e.

I'm on a laptop right now will have to try it later.
Thanks

There use to be a program for this that came with Windows.
Don't know if it still does...

Look under Programs-Accessories for "Character Map".

If it is there (Character Map) you can use that for finding
odd characters and the "Alt" number keystrokes for creating
them. Alternatively you can use the same program to select
them (copy to clip-board) and then paste into your
application.

Do bear in mind though that a lot of us won't see them
correctly, depending on what you choose and the program we
are using to view news groups with.
