Xara Webster - Typing International Characters

Xara Webster includes shortcuts for the following special characters.

To Enter an International Character

Choose the Text Tool.
Place the text cursor where you want to enter the character.
Press the CTRL key and the modifier shown in the table (this is called a dead key).
Release both keys.
Press the letter to which you want to apply the modifier.

For example, to enter an õ, you hold down CTRL, type a ' ~ ' (usually SHIFT+#), release CTRL and then press 'o'.

Some keyboards (for example Portugal, German) do dead keys already. Xara Webster does not affect this.
Some keyboards require you to press CTRL to get an accent character (for example to enter the ' for an è). If your keyboard does this, it should provide another way for you to enter international characters.
If you wish to disable this system and you know how to edit INI files, change the line in the XARAWEB.INI file reading UseDeadKeys=1 to UseDeadKeys=0.
If you are in a country with a keyboard that does not have one of the required keys (for example Portugal does not have a ^) you must enter the character using ALT+<character code> or use CharMap or a similar program.
