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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's still correct for the Mac -- not just for Word, but all programs.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

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.

Similarly, if you open the jpg in MSPaint, and click on Image > Attributes, it'll show resolution there.
