SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to insert an extended character (such as an acute,
circumflex, umlaut, or tilde) with the CAPS LOCK key activated, the
extended character may appear before the appropriate character instead of
directly above it.
RESOLUTION
To insert an uppercase extended character correctly, follow these steps:
- Press down and hold the OPTION key while you press the appropriate key
used for the extended character.
- Press down and hold the SHIFT key while you press the appropriate
character.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior occurs in most programs on the Macintosh. This is not a
limitation of Microsoft Works, but rather the standard manner in which
extended characters are created on the Macintosh.
