Inflections in script

[leighextence]

There is probably a simple explanation; but how do I get inflections in my lettering using Premium 365, as in when writing French words?
For instance if I want: é à ê

Thanks for any help, Leigh

Hi Leigh

I moved this to the Web Design Chat. Posts in the Web Gallery are automatically moderated (hidden) until one of the moderators discovers the post and approves it.

Look for Windows Character Map. It is a utility included with Windows. Find the drop down for the font you are using and copy the accented character and then paste into your document.

Most characters have a code that can be applied. For example hold down the Alt key, key in on the numberic key pad 0241 and you get ñ

Leigh, these work in a Xara textbox: http://www.wikihow.com/Put-Accents-on-Letters.

Think I may give up...!! And then just stick to Premium 10 although that means I've wasted the upgrade money.

I think I have got rid of all my previous versions of the Xara software, and then reloaded Premium 365.

I then went into one of the Xara templates that come with the software and just changed some of the wording on the index page, as well as pasting an a and e with accents. Uploaded to my spare hosting space, www.leighextence.co.uk, expecting all to be okay as I hadn't deviated in anyway, and it was all out of kilter... there were gaps before both the pound sign and the 1/2 sign. I added three dots in a row, as in... and they weren't there, just a much longer gap, and the accents were non-existent. And why is there a copyright sign? Something, somewhere, somehow doesn't like what I am doing.

Below is how it reads when inserted in the 365 software, but not when saved, exported and uploaded:

So now, using a website that came with the premium 365 am I able to use a £ sign, and then a ½ inch, or is it still going to play up? If it does then it must be a conflict on the comp. How about inflections?
How about cut and paste from word? é à ê unformatted. This is odd as it seems to put a gap above when I pop in the £ sign, although this may be different as I'm putting in completly new text including both the ½ inch sign and the three dots at the end... How about a single dot.
and another three dots... £ sign ½ inch
