Default Re: Codes for Non-English Letters

I use the list that Stewart outlines at the beginning of this thread. On Word Perfect you can construct a keyboard to include the signs, but I tend to just do the Alt + thing, as I rarely need to write long texts using the accents.

I've found a few others, which work for me, and are useful for Eastern & Central Europe:

Alt +

ž 0158
Ž 0142

š 0154
Š 0138

and for French:

œ 0156
Œ 0140

as in "œuvre" and similar words

Alt+ 228, the υ, is useful for me when I translate from Estonian. Unfortunately, I can't find any Alt + codes for Polish accents.
