Can anyone tell me if the following directions are still applicable to macs with Word 2007?
Or can you tell me an easy way to do accents or set up macros for accents?
I have an author who hasn't figured out accents on her mac.
Thanks!

1) In most cases, you will first hold down the Option / Control (CTRL) key and then strike a regular character key as indicated below. Nothing will appear on your screen at this point.
2) Release both keys, and then type the letter which you would like to carry the accent, as shown in the chart below.
à, è, ì, ò, ù: Option+`(accent grave), the letter
á, é, í, ó, ú, É: Option+e, the letter
â, ê, î, ô, û: Option+i, the letter
ä, ë, ï, ö, ü: Option+u, the letter
ç, Ç: Option+c or Option+Shift+c
Don't know about Word 2007, but I have Word 2004 for Mac, and that's how accents work,[edit: er, megan]--it's the one of the things I've always liked about macs, is that accents are so much easier. Made writing papers in Spanish and French classes in college (yes, I took both) soooooo much easier.
If I were msbelle I would shake my wee fists in rage, but I'm not.
I have all the ASCII codes memorized so it's just as easy on a PC, especially since I have them all set as macros on my own computer (alt+e is the é for example). I could never get used to a mac when I had one. I imagine this is why this old-school author is having trouble.
That's still correct for the Mac -- not just for Word, but all programs.
also on the iPhone. If you hold the letter down, you can get international letters/accents to pop up (assuming you have this preference selected, of course). Gotta love Apple.
If I have a jpeg file, how can I tell what the resolution is?
You can probably right click on it and select "properties...". One of the tabs should show information about the image including resolution.
I had to open an image in Photo software (MS Picture Manager)to see the resolution in Windows XP. A general right click only gave me file size and dimension.

Yeah, I'm just getting a size of 1.88 MB (1,975,687 bytes) in Properties but no other info. If I click on "Actual Size" in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it looks huge (I see maybe 1/6 of it on my monitor).
I'm using Vista at the moment, looks like they added more details.
