The diaeresis and the umlaut are two homoglyphic diacritical marks that consist of two dots. Two dots, called a trema, were used in the Hellenistic period on the letters ι and υ, most often at the beginning of a word, as in ϊδων, ϋιος, and ϋβριν. Using Mac OS or OS X, a letter with double dots can be produced by pressing. Click on the ruler at the top of your page to add a right-justified tab stop (just before the 6-inch mark on the ruler). The page numbers line up on the new tab stop as shown below.
Open the Insert Symbols dialog and change the Subset box to Combining Diacritical Marks. At Unicode 0308 you'll find the 'combining diaeresis' character, two dots that can be placed over any character.
I suggest that you make an AutoCorrect entry for each letter + diaeresis combination you need. For example: - Type the letter B in a document. Go to Insert Symbol and insert the diaeresis.
Select the B and diaeresis. Go to Tools AutoCorrect Options. In the Replace box, enter something unique that will serve as a 'trigger' to enter the AutoCorrect item. I suggest b: (that is, backslash, b, and colon) as a trigger that's unlikely to be entered by mistake.

- Click the Add button. Or, while you're in Insert Symbol locating the Combining Diacritic for dieresis, create a keyboard shortcut for that character alone (button at middle bottom of Insert Symbol) and type it after a letter you want the dots on top of. If you want 'three dots,' how do you want them arranged? [email protected] 6/11/2013, 7:47 น. On Wednesday, January 27, 2010 8:15:01 PM UTC-6, Peyton Todd wrote: Hello.

The proper way is to go to the 'Insert' ribbon, select the 'equation' button which brings up the Equation Tools menu, and then select from the 'Accent' menu on the right.
