Special Character input?

[ruof44]

I need to use vowels with macrons often and can't figure out how to input them.

One way would be to copy from the Character Map utility, though this might get tedious after a while.

Start>Programs>Accesories>System Tools>Character Map

or

Start>Run enter "charmap.exe" in Open field and click OK.

Right. That's what i'm doing now. Just wondered if there was a way in FMP, like in Word, to set unusual character to specific key combonations.

It would surprise me if you were able to assign key combinations. How about buttons as in the attached examples? Just start typing and when you get to a special character click the appropriate button.

edit: instead of having seperate scripts I would suggest passing the character as a script parameter. That way all the buttons could call the same script.Simply defining each button to Insert Text [""] would also work.
