Notes & Asides.(alternative letters, accents and characters in modern computer keyboards)(Brief Article)(Letter to the Editor)
-- Dear Mr. Buckley: Your correspondent Horst R. Brakel (N&A, July 1) lalaments that computer keyboards neglect the umlaut. Please inform him that help is at hand!
Using MS Word with the Arial, CG Times, or Times New Roman font, one can produce the umlaut as follows: Hold down the Alt key and type 0228 to produce a, 0235 to produce e, and 0252 to produce u.
Be sure to have the numbers lock activated, and use the number keypad to type in the numerical sequence.
Yours for international accommodation,
James G. Pastorius Jr.
Richmond, Va.
