Using Herbisoft Insert Diacritics

After downloading and installing Herbisoft Insert Diacritics, you can insert diacritical marks on your PowerPoint slides as follows:

1. Insert the base character for which you wish to insert the diacritical mark. For instance, if you wish to insert à, the base character that you should enter is a.
   
2. Select the base character that you inserted and press Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut. This would convert the a character to à. The ( ` ) key is the key on top of the Tab key on most keyboards.

Refer to the following table for a list of keyboard shortcuts and the diacritical mark that they produce:

Diacritical Mark	Keyboard Shortcut	Examples
( ´ ) Acute Accent	Ctrl+'	Á Ú
( ˋ ) Grave Accent	Ctrl+`	ì È ò
( ˆ ) Circumflex	Ctrl+Shift+^	Ê î
( ˜ ) Tilde	Ctrl+Shift+~	ã ñ
( ¨ ) Diaeresis/Umlaut	Ctrl+Shift+:	Ÿ, ö
( ¸ ) Cedilla	Ctrl+,	ç
( ˚ ) Ring	Ctrl+Shift+%	å ů
( ¯ ) Macron	Ctrl+Shift+_	ō ē
( ˇ ) Caron	Ctrl+Shift+@	š ľ
Diaeresis Caron	Ctrl+Shift+: and Ctrl+Shift+@	ǚ
Diaeresis Grave	Ctrl+Shift+: and Ctrl+`	ǜ
Diaeresis Acute	Ctrl+Shift+: and Ctrl+'	ǘ
Diaeresis Macron	Ctrl+Shift+: and Ctrl+Shift+_	ǖ

Note that these keyboard shortcuts can produce multiple diacritical marks where possible. For instance, if your selected base character is u and you press Ctrl+' and Ctrl+Shift+:, you would get ǘ (Diaeresis Acute). Similarly, if your selected base character is (again) u and you press Ctrl+Shift+@ and Ctrl+Shift+:, you would get ǚ (Diaeresis Caron).
