Randy, This is a terrific list! Just when I thought I knew all the shortcuts......... Thanks for sending it. I have one question. The 2nd tip says: "If you need to type a special character, the easiest way is to hold down the letter and a character menu will pop up." I do type the word resumé quite often, but when I used your tip, I got this result: resumeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee The e just keeps repeating, no character menu pops up. Is it because I am using OS X 10.6.8 ?? Thanks very much. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
