Accent marks - How do I put a caron over a capital Z?

Greetings, Mac people. I am currently writing my dissertation with Appleworks. I have a problem. There are some words and names in it that I cannot type correctly.
For example, the author Louis Zabkar has a caron (like the accent on î, but upside-down) over the Z in his name. Likewise, there are some Russian articles I am including in my bibliography, the Latin transcription of which requires that caron.
I have tried Keyboard Viewer, but none of the accents there are what I need. I have also tried Character Palette, which shows me the Z I need, complete with caron, but cannot insert it into AppleWorks. I tried putting the character in the text editor, but when I copied and pasted to AppleWorks, I got question marks.
I am seriously considering buying Word and finishing the project with that, the formatting of headers being a serious concern, and the double-spacing on Appleworks that is too small. Topics for another post, I know.
So, what I want to know is: can this caron problem be solved with Appleworks, or should I move on. It's a small thing, but it does matter.
Thanks!

Remaining OT,
Using the Equation editor and Descent inserts the capital as an inline object, which means there'll be a single line of text to its right, with the next line dropping to a position below the capital, leaving a large white space.
Better to place the capital into a Text frame, size the frame to as small as possible to contain the single letter, then apply Text wrap to the frame and drag it into position. This also allows you to apply a background colour or pattern to the frame and to colour the letter if you wish.
And now, back to our regular programming...
Barbara is right about a graphic solution to the lack of carons being fiddly, especialy in quantity. For small quantities, though, it's workable. I've used this technique to insert schwa characters (the upside-down e used to indicate the vowel sound in an unstressed syllable) in students' exercise pages. One hint here: Once you've established the Descent setting necessary (I inserted these as inline objects), copy the inserted object AND at least one preceding character to use as your object for pasting. Adding the character preserves the Descent setting so that you don't have to set it every time you use the object.

Barry

  • How do I put a title over a photo?

    I've seen a lot of posts about putting a title over a video clip, but what I want to do is put a title over a photo. I am able to insert titles just fine and same thing with just photos, but I can't seem to combine them. When I try to drag one on top of the other, it moves to the left or right and creates two seperate things. I have made sure that the length and duration of each is the same and also that I leave the "Over Black" box unchecked. Any suggestions?

    What do you mean by it 'creates two separate things'? In iMovie 5, I don't think there was an 'add' button. You have to drag the title 'T' box down to the photo in the timeline. IF you are having problems wiht this, try deleting the iMovie plist and the reopen iMovie and try again. (The plist is in YourUserName->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iMovieplist. Trash that and relaunch iMovie.
    Post back if that does not help.

  • Accent marks in hyperlinks?

    I have a url with an accent mark (é) that works when put into a browser but doesn't work when put as a hyperlink in InDesign. Does InDesign just not handle url's with accent marks using hyperlinks? Is there a work around other than changing the url?
    Thanks!

    I found a solution. You replace the é with the URL-encoding. They can be found here: http://w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

  • How do I put a copyright mark and initials on picture using elements?

    How do I put a copyright mark and initials on my picture usng Adobe Elements 12?

    Select the T tool and click on the part of your image where you wish to add the copyright.
    On windows hold down Alt and on the numeric keypad  type 0169
    The copyright symbol only appears when you release the Alt key.
    Add your name or initials. Save using a new copy file name so that you don’t permanently change your original.
    On Mac OSX Press the "alt" key (or "option") and hold it down while typing "g" on the keyboard to create the © symbol.

  • How to make keyboard do accent marks???

    Ok. So I just got the Mavericks update. And now when I hold down a letter (in order to add an accent mark to it), it won't work anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this!?!? Because Apple sure doesn't. Please help

    I have not moved to Mavericks, all my accents work as before using the option key, so if it has changed, try posting this in the Mavericks or I guess it is this one
    http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
    All the things I have done in the past, previous to Mavericks have worked as normal with the option key and a mod key.
    Like I mentioned before I do not as of yet have Mavericks. so I can not advise you in any certainty.
    If none of the "normal" option keys work for you, you may want to contact Apple and let them know????

  • IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

    I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • "Special Characters" Accent Marks delete letter

    Hello fellow Pages users,
    I can't quite figure out how to solve a little problem I'm experiencing in Pages. In a text document, I am trying to put an accent mark over a letter (like the diacritical marks one finds over letters in dictionaries to help with pronunciation). I highlight the letter I want to accent, and then I select "Special Characters" from the Edit menu. In the "Character Palette," I select the accent mark I want to use (which is listed under "Punctuation"). But when I select "Insert," the accent mark replaces the letter I want to accent! All I have left is an accent mark on the document, which is useless without the letter it is supposed to accent!
    I was wondering whether anyone has encountered this problem (if it is a problem--maybe I'm just going about this the wrong way) and whether there is a workaround. Thank you very much for your time; please let me know if I need to clarify anything.
    Kind regards,
    Chris
    P.S. I could just use Microsoft Word, but (1) since my computer is fairly new, I don't have Word at the moment and (2) I would like to learn how to do this in Pages, if it is possible. Please forgive me if this topic has already been covered; I tried to "search" for this topic, but had trouble isolating this specific problem in the Discussions.

    Hello Starfighter
    The characters you are selecting from the Punctuation section of the Character Pallette are separate characters - they don't overlay other characters. What you need to do is select a Latin font and pick your character with the accent from there.
    It might be simpler for you to use the keyboard viewer instead. When you hold down the ⌥ key you will notice that several of the keys on the keyboard appear orange. This is because they are designed to work in combination with another keystroke to input an accented character e.g. The sequence ⌥ u e will produce the character ë.
    I hope that helps.

  • Accent marks over text?

    Does anyone know how to put an accent mark over text in Flash
    MX? Like for the e in the word resume? Thanks much!
    Carrie

    OK - I have figured out that in HTML if you enter the
    attached code you will get the é e with the accent mark
    over it - so I am thinking now if I can somehow convert that one
    letter of my static text into that one HTML code that might work.
    Anybody have any idea if that might work and if so, how I can
    access that level of my text?
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I put a PDF on my website?  It needs to be scrollable.

    I have an open PDF in Preview.  How do I put it on a web page of mine?  I took a screenshot of the Preview window, but now the cursor is the little + thing that wants to draw an area to select.  So I don't know whether this shot is scrollable.
    I need to be educated here.
    Thank you
    Jerry

    Screen shots are not scrollable.  They are just static image files.
    To include it on a webpage of yours, put it on your server and make a link to the file of the file name.   Mind you those browsing the website without an appropriate Acrobat plugin will probably launch Acrobat reader, and it won't be readable in the browser.   Acrobat files are handled differently depending on the plugin.   A better way to deal with it, is learn some HTML and use Textwrangler by http://www.barebones.com/ to code your page with the correct HTML to make it look like the Acrobat page.  You'll have to select all, and copy the Acrobat document into your HTML text document.  Then you'll have to mark it up.   Unfortunately you can't expect everyone to have an Acrobat plugin.

  • How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?

    How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?
    Some examples include: Linkin Park - Studio Collection, Michael Jackson - The Indisposable Collection

    Hi skullkrunch3r,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you "Get Info" on the tracks that are part of your collection, you can use the Compilation option in iTunes.
    In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
    See this article for more information on marking your albums as part of a compilation:

  • How do I put my music from my iPod Touch to iTunes on my computer?

    okay, I read a lot of questions in a similar format but nothing has helped. Here is my situation and what I have done.
    I have an iPod Touch and my computer crashed, I had to restore my system completly. I thought I had backed up my iTunes but I did not back up all of my content. However, the music I did not back up are on my iPod. How can I put my music from my iPod to my iTunes WITHOUT erasing my music I have on my iPod? Some of the music on my iPod I do not have anymore so I can't erase my music I have on my iPod.
    I tried to "authorized" my computer/iTunes to my iPod but a pop up came up and said my computer was "already authorized". I also tried to back up my iPod but that did not do anything. I also went under iTunes and checked marked "manually manage music" but nothing works.
    What can I do?

    Tranfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
