the E in the O Solved

Question

Hello,
I couldn't find how to correctly type "coeur" with the "e" in the "o" on the keyboard (before, I used the Word dictionary which proposed the correction, but not on this computer where it just skips it without a word - Word 2003 - )
I even looked for solutions like "ligatures" or "diacritics": there are other things that might interest me with CTRL etc. but they don’t work on my laptop in AZERTY, just like those with Alt+X and UNICODE

Help !

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Hello,

Heart, beef and other ;) stories are automatic corrections in Word. There's no need for the dictionary. Just type the word followed by a space or a line break for it to auto-correct and for the ligature to happen automatically.

Check in the Tools menu, AutoCorrect Options, AutoCorrect tab, that the option "Correct as you type" is checked.

If it's checked and it still doesn't work, check that these words haven't been removed from the auto-corrections.

For your information, the keyboard shortcut for making a œ : you type Ctrl+1 (alpha keyboard) then type the letter o.
or: Alt+0156
but in principle, you shouldn't need it.

PS: for Unicode, it's not Alt+X as indicated in the help, but Alt+C

Hello again,

To check the auto-correction settings, go to the Tools menu, AutoCorrect Options, AutoCorrect tab. As I mentioned, the "Correct text as you type" option should be checked.
Then, type the word "coeur" (without the ligature) in the Replace box. You should automatically see the auto-correction (cœur) appear and be highlighted in the list.
If you don't see it (which is quite strange), type the word correctly in the From box and click the Replace button.

You cannot open a lexicon for auto-corrections. You can simply view them, add or delete them. You can print them using a macro if needed.

You see that I'm not talking about the exclusion dictionary. In an exclusion dictionary, you add words that should be recognized as errors even though they are correct. This allows, for example, to prevent someone from systematically typing the word "cousin" while working on cushions!! ;)) In principle, the word "cousin" is not recognized by the Word dictionary because it is a word that exists and is correctly spelled; by putting it in the exclusion dictionary, it will be recognized as an error.

The compatible Wiord 3000 dictionary does not exist yet!!! :D))) But the 2003 dictionary works very well, and it finds errors in coeur... So, double-check your spelling and grammar check options.

For your information, if you're interested in all this, here is the link to Thierry Fontenelle's blog, a linguist at Microsoft and the person in charge of the correction tools.

Thank you all

Since then, I've changed my computer and version of Word....

I switched to manual mode and to avoid numbers, I set up a keyboard shortcut (for me Alt+Ctrl+o) in "insert" "symbols" "more symbols" by going to the appropriate character, I set it up.

It seems to be working, even when changing the font, and I did the same thing for the weird characters (diacritics) that allow transcribing exotic languages.

Best regards
Vilsi

In Word, you need to do: Alt (not Alt Gr) and 0156; It works for me, but I still don't know how to do it in uppercase.
