    Could one of you kind people tell me how to get a German letter not on my keyboard? I need the (I think it is) a DOUBLE ‘S’ the one that looks a bit like a ‘B’, or send it to me as a vector?
    Sorry I haven’t explained what I want very well….

    I googled "german alphabet" and found the third entry was this http://german.about.com/library/anfang/blanfang_abc.htm where I highlighted the ‘b’ thingy and pasted it into a corel text selection. It worked fine. I have no idea how it is that you can copy and paste foreign letters, but you can! Hope that helped 😉

    Go to start on your windows, Click programs, Accessories, System tools, Character Map and then select the font you are using for the set up of your jobby. Find the double s on the character map, double click and it wil show at the bottom of that window, select it at the bottom and click copy to the right of that window then in your job, paste.

    Hope that’s clear enough for you 😮
