Greek accent marks

[Guest]

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

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.

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