International Characters - Keyboard Shortcuts

[rition]

I have searched help and discovered the Keyboard shortcuts and I can
get these to work on my desktop in work but not on my laptop I have
searched through my settings but I can't see anything obvious to
change.

i.e. CTRL+` (ACCENT GRAVE) when I do this nothing happens.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thank you

Are you typing a letter after pressing Ctrl+`? See

Hello-

I'm sure this isn't the answer you would prefer, but it would seem that the
appropriate explanation would have to come from the mfr of the laptop to
determine why their keyboard doesn't conform to 'standards' and/or what needs
to be done to make it do so.

There may be some sort of proprietary settings software that needs to be
adjusted, or perhaps some equivalent to a Fn key that needs to be used. There
might also be languge settings to adjust, etc. Unfortunately, there are
almost as many variations as there are laptop models.

Good Luck |:>)
