[Opinions] Re: Élan
If it's pronounced AY-lahn, I think it's beautiful. I like the combo Elan Maria. BTW, how do we make special characters?"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

It is AY-lahn, and thanks for the compliment. I made the special characters by going to http://french.typeit.org and writing the word there. Then I copy and paste into my email. There might be an easier way, but I don't know it.

If your keyboard is the same as mine, you can hold down the 'Alt Gr' key and the letter you want to accent and it'll do it.

Where's the 'Alt Gr' key? Maybe I'm an idiot, but all I see is the 'Alt' key.

I have a laptop, and I don't have that key anywhere on my keyboard.
Any other suggestions other than copying and pasting from the other website?
Thanks!

Ah, strange that (mine has an Alt Gr key). There's always the Character Map. Click 'Start', ==> 'All Programs' ==> 'Accessories' ==> 'System Tools' and it should be in there. I'm on Windows XP BTW so it might be different on others (I can't remember).

I've never seen an 'Alt Gr' key on any keyboard - maybe it's specific to UK keyboards!
