We all need a good laugh.

When in Greek mode type the accent you want followed by the letter it should be on.

Providing you settings are right, this should do the trick.


Σ'ευχaριστώ, CBBB. :)

It took me some time and effort to find and to operate properly the only accent mark I was able to find. On my keyboard, it is located where the semicolon is located. Is this correct? Where are the others?

Anyway Bubbles, ξεχάστε την ποδιά sou και πάρτε από την κουζίνα! :wink:


Kala (or should that be kalos? :oops: )

I had to look up your first verb Filitsa, but then I did indeed 'forget my apron and got out of the kitchen!' (For today at least! :wink: )


Kala, kala! :D

CBBB (or anyone else), where, in Greek mode, is the semicolon located on a Latin keyboard, so that I may make a proper Greek question mark in the future?


Now you have admitted it first ... I will second that my Greek sucks ... but clearly not as much as yours :lol: ..... but only because I have been in Cyprus for seven months. :wink:

I admire you for admitting that :D


On the other hand, Oracle, you show me nothing. At least, answer the question, lest I conclude that you know little if any Greek at all. :D

The Q should do it. Shift_Q makes a colon.

Hello Dino! :D

Thanks for the help. Do you know how to make a semi-colon? I went through the whole damn keyboard!

I misunderstood you, Dinos, until I tried both upper case and lower case "Q."

Thanks.
