Word 97 or 2000 able to insert umlauts?

[PRR]

I know that in Word 2003 you can press Ctrl+" (quotation marks) and
get an umlaut over the next character/vowel that you type. I do this
quickly and easily to get these foreign (i.e., non-English) marks--
including the enye.

I read that this is also able to be done in Word 2000. Is this true?
How about Word 97?

The shortcut keys will work in any version of Word.

You can look in the Symbol dialog box to find out the key combination that can
be used on your system.

Great. Thanks. I currently have Word 2003, but not 2000 or 97 so I
couldn't check.

Which keyboard are you using? The shortcut in English (US) is Ctrl-:
(colon), not quotation marks.

True.

For once, it's the same shortcut on my Swedish keyboard: Ctrl+: (or actually
Ctrl+Shift+.).

That's interesting in and of itself, as here (U.S. keyboard) the colon is a
shifted semicolon, and a shifted period (full stop) is >.

One factor is å, ä, ö, which we (obviously) have keys for. I guess that creates
the need to move things around.

I'm using the US-English keyboard. Yes you are correct, the colon will
get you the umlaut--I was thinking of other programs that have other
such shortcuts.
