CS5 AI. How to add accented text character in windows

I am trying to get the accented (acute/forward) characters for a, e, i, o, u. (and their capital versions) in illustrator CS5 (Windows 7). I do not want to use the Glyphs - impractical. Neither do I want to use the windows character box or Alt xxxx codes.
Accented characters are part of normal text - for all but English speakers
All my other programs (MS OFfice, CAD etc) allow me to use AltGr key + letter (AltGr = right alt = Ctrl+Alt). This is also the case for Photoshop CS5 but not Illustrator.
In windows control panel I have changed languages (e.g. English, Spanish) and keyboards (e.g. US-international). No difference. As soon as I press AltGr key, I move into Group Selection mode. I have deleted all Illustrator shortcuts that include Ctrl + Alt - still no use.
I have tried previous suggestions in this and similar forums
Is there any simple way to resolve this. I have put up with this since CS1 but I thought it was fixed. Now it seems not - AI is to remain English speaking only (?)

My normal setup is English UK language with English UK keyboard.
I am not sure I understand your comment "Accents on a tertiary modifier such as AltGr is rather unusual..." and I am not clear about primary keys and secondary modifiers but from my experience...
AltGr (or Ctrl + Alt) + vowel will give accented (forward) vowel in any package that I use - for example Microsoft Word, Excel, OneNote, Firefox, Paint Shop Pro, TurboCad etc - and many more. It is a standard in windows and has been for years. Even Photoshop follows it. But not Illustrator.
In trying to get it to work in Illustrator I have tried every reasonable combination of keyboards (e.g. US-international, Spanish) and  languages (e.g. French, Spanish etc) as well as English
I'd happily work with any two-key / three - key shortcut I could set up in Illustrator.

  • How to add a new character set encoding?

    Hello,
    can anybody please explain to me, how to add a new character set encoding to Mac OS Tiger?
    I have two Mac laptops, a new one with Snow Leopard and an older one with Tiger, and on the old one i cannot use or enable anywhere the "Russian (DOS)" character set encoding, which i need to be able to use some old text files.
    On the Snow Leopard, this encoding is present in the list of available encodings of TextWrangler, but not in TIger.
    If i have understood correctly, this is not a problem of TextWrangler, and the same encodings are available systemwide.
    So, the question is: how to add new encodings to Tiger (or to Mac OS in general)?
    Thanks.

    I think possibly that's in the Get Info window of Finder?
    I don't think either that or the input menu have any effect on available encoding choices. Adding languages to system prefs/international/languages can do that, but once you have added Russian there, I don't know of any way to add an additional Russian encoding (there are quite a number of them).

    If it is a global requirement ,as in table being used there in ALV can be modified, then you can append the table and the system should pick up the same automatically from there.

  • How to add a text area in a Content pane..?

    Hi,
    I created a content pane with 5 buttons. One of them is a quit button, and I was able to create an "system.exit(0)" event handling for him. My problem is.. I have 4 other buttons, and I want them to show some text when I click them. How do I add a text area bellow my content pane..?
    Copy/paste my code to see what im talking about :) :
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Interface extends JFrame {
    public Interface() {
    Container contentPane = getContentPane();
    contentPane.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    JButton button1 = new JButton("Test1");
    JButton button2 = new JButton("Test2");
    JButton button3 = new JButton("Test3");
    JButton button4 = new JButton("Test4");
    JButton button5 = new JButton("Quit");
    ButtonHandler handler = new ButtonHandler();
    button5.addActionListener( handler );
    contentPane.add(button1);
    contentPane.add(button2);
    contentPane.add(button3);
    contentPane.add(button4);
    contentPane.add(button5);
    contentPane.setBackground(Color.orange);
    addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
    System.exit(0);
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    Interface window = new Interface();
    window.setLocation(250,350);
    window.setTitle("FlowLayout");
    window.pack();
    window.setTitle("Test");
    window.setVisible(true);
    public class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener {
    public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
    System.exit(0);
    Thanks alot! :)

    By default the content pane of the JFrame uses a Border Layout. So you should:
    1) Create a JPanel
    2) Set the layout of the JPanel to FlowLayout
    3) add the buttons to the panel
    4) add the panel to the content pane
    5) add your text area to the content pane

  • How to add one more character in selection [JS] [CS2]

    Hi All
    I am wondering the way to add one more character in my selection.
    I have a script which adds the xml Element and parent xml Element in selected text so far so good, but further my expectation is to cut this text with tag and paste it into anchored frame but in selection it won’t add the closing tag of parent tag.
    function add_element(mySel){
    var the_add_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("story", mySel);
    var add_space = mySel.insertionPoints[0].contents = " "
    var new_selec = app.select(mySel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    var my_new_sel = app.selection[0];
    var add_parent_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("sidenote", my_new_sel);
    app.select(mySel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
    app.select(mySel.characters[1], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    app.selection[0].remove();
           app.select(my_new_sel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
           app.select(my_new_sel.characters[-1], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    Could anyone suggest me the way to achieve it as I am bit primitive in scripting?
    Many Thanks
    Mac

    Hi Mac,
    Here is working code for CS4. Hope it will work on CS2 too.
    function add_element(mySel){
    var the_add_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("story", mySel);
    var new_selec = app.select(mySel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    var my_new_sel = app.selection[0];
    var add_parent_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("sidenote", my_new_sel);
    app.select(my_new_sel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);

  • Rejection Applicant: How to add plain text to the mail E Mail Letter?

    Dear All:
    I'm working with a ECC6 version.
    In transaction PB60, when we do the candidate rejection activity, the E Mail letter generates a mail with empty body text, and an attachment with the letter in PDF format. The letter is OK, but I would like to know how to add some plain text to this E Mail letter. An empty mail is not a good practise.
    I searched across the forums and SAP documentation, but I could not find any clue.
    I would appreciate any help regarding to this matter.
    Best regards
    Jordi

    Here you go !  ( you need to create Text in t-code SO10 for ID = PAML " )
    Two Default texts under  ID = PAML :
    *MAIL-APP-INTERVIEW     *EN     TEXT     PAML     SYSTEM
    MAIL-APPLICANT     EN     TEXT     PAML     SYSTEM
      Personnel Management->Applicant Activities->Mail Connection ->Create standard texts for mail connection
    Create standard texts for mail connection
    In this step you can create the standard texts to be used in mails.
    Example
    u2022     Request for return of applicant file
    u2022     Notification of date of job interview
    Requirements
    u2022     You should have assigned a standard text to the activity.
    u2022     You should also have set the variables which are to be used.
    u2022     Finally, you should also have made the settings for supplying the variable with values.
    Standard settings
    The standard system contains two examples of standard texts. You can use these examples as references to help you create your own standard texts. The standard texts have the following names:
    u2022     MAIL-APPLICANT (note on an applicant activity)
    u2022     MAIL-APP-INTERVIEW (note on appointment for interview)
    Please note that the standard texts are stored under text ID PAML.
    Activities
    Now create the standard texts you require under text ID PAML.
    Further notes
    Every mail is made up of a heading and contents. In the first line of the standard text you enter the heading of the mail and from the second line on, the contents.
    The standard default settings for style and layout are used for mails.
    The SAP System treats standard texts as application data. This is why there is no automatic connection to the transport system. If you want to copy texts from one client to another within the same system, please use the functions of the transaction to create the texts. If you want to send the texts to a different system, please enter the transport manually as follows:
    PgmID   Obj     Objectname
    R3TR    TEXT   TEXT,XYZ,PAML,E
                     |    |   |   --- Language (e.g. E for English)
                     |    |   -
    Text ID (e.g. PAML for standard mails)
                     |    -
    Text name (probably not XYZ)
    Text object (TEXT ist fixed)
    Good luck

    1) Use a Collection to hold the comments. It could be in-memory (List<String>) or backed by DB (using a ViewObject) depending on your use-case. On every comment submission add the comment to the collection object.
    2) In the page, iterate through the collection using af:iterator and include the output text within the iterator.
