Is it possible to type Classical Greek accent marks (e.g. rough breather etc.)? I use WinXP Pro and Word 2003 and have no problem typing using the Greek fonts. I cannot find any accent marks on the keyboard layout.

Are you using the appropriate keyboard layout? Are you using a Greek font?

Suzanne, yes to both questions: I have tried the three available Greek KBs and have chosen the Arial MS because I found the accented Greek vowels in it. Having typed accented Greek with other applications (e.g. Global Office), I used combinations of the CTRL and ALT keys to produce the desired characters. Am I still missing something here?

I'm afraid I'm out of my depth here. You might want to post to
microsoft.public.word.international.features.

I'm glad you found what you needed. More to your credit than mine, though!

Suzanne, success! Microsoft has a 34-page "how-to" white paper located at:

I can now type accented Classical Greek without any problems. Your
suggestion kept me hopeful and on the research track to find a solution.
Thanks for your help and inspiration.gleich. Und sie sollen es auch nicht werden.
