How to type José with the accent mark on the "e"

Hi all,

I found this explanation in the Blogger Help... The correct code for the é is ALT-130.

Note that the ALT-130 method may not work in other apps. For example, it doesn't work for me in MS Word, where I type CTRL+<'>+<e> instead (single quote).

Dan - You're not the only one that has used Hosea instead of José! Is it a "right brain" phenomenon??

There are two ways I know of. One would be to open your word processor, click insert symbol, and find the appropriate accented letter and copy it and paste it in. That is a bit cumbersome.

The other is to use the ALT +number pad. An example, hold down the ALT key and key in 164 on the number pad and you will get ñ--also useful in Spanish. I don't know all the ALT +# symbols by heart--only a few that I use often. I made myself a cheat sheet by trying all of them. I only have to refer to it to find the one I need. Here's a site with a chart of all of them. http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/altchrc.html It's the first one that came up in a Google search.

Christmas Day at the Carlsons

It was a houseful!

The Roseau Clan was well represented (see left)




Ho ho ho.  (See below)

And at the opposite extreme (see below) my favorite picture of all - Brother Paul, the scum of the earth.  Apologies to Faith that she had to be in the picture.  I tried to photoshop her out but failed.

Christmas Eve at the Lindstroms

I hope others had a good Christmas too.  Here's some proof that some of us gathered at the Lindstrom's house.

Glad to see Tim.

Notice the "artsy" photo with the twinkle in the foreground.


About the only "downer" was that José wasn't feeling too well.  He tried his best to have fun, but they left early with José exhausted.
