How can I enter diacritical marks (special characters such as “” or “”) into Advance data entry fields?
When updating names that are properly entered with accented characters, make sure to update all fields in which that name appears in the Entity window (GoTo ENT). • Last • First • Middle • Mail Name • Report Name • Salutation Also, it is vital that you create an Alias Name record (GoTo NAME) that represents the same name, but without the accented letters. This is necessary because the searching function of Advance will not be able to search for the names with accented characters, so the Alias Name record allows the accented names to be searched for. There are two different ways that you can place such a character into an Advance field. First, you can use a word processing program to type the character, and then copy it to paste into Advance. Second, you can use the list below to type them directly in Advance. To do this, hold down the Alt key, enter the number, and then let go of the Alt key.
