Sorry to hear that, Brian.

When I used a Dell I saved the following toolkit of diacritical doohickeys as a separate document. That way I could quickly find, copy, and paste what I needed, instead of hunting through a bazillion "Insert" options for the elusive ¿ :

Spanish:
Á É Í Ó Ú Ç Ñ Ü ¿ ¡
á é í ó ú ç ñ ü ¿ ¡

French:
Ç Œ Á  À É Ê È Î Ô Û Ù Ë Ï
ç œ á â à é ê è î ô û ù ë ï

Misc:
£ Æ Œ æ œ

Go here, find the character you want, click on it, then you can paste it where you want it.

[John Whitworth]

Yes it does seem to have done. However, it is on the version I have for sending. Just imagine it's there.

eeeeeee

Yes, Juli. I can do that too. But to what end?

[Jayne Osborn]

I was going to say: "Alternatively, let the Fairy Godmother (my new nickname, it appears) do it for you, John", but I've been out all day and you've beaten me to it!

[John Whitworth]

You can still do it, Jayne.

[Roger Slater]

John, do take note of the site I just linked to. It has every conceivable letter and typographical symbol. You need only click on the one you want, then return to where you were writing and hit Control-V for that letter or symbol to appear. Try it.

[Julie Steiner]

Yes, Roger, but who wants every conceivable letter and typographical symbol? Personally, I just want the ones I use. YMMV, of course.

Slightly more on-topic:

Always dance in the kitchen.
Be spontaneous, yet
plan ahead and envision
every step, A to Z.

Always look before leapin’.
He who hesitates? Lost!
Good things come to the sleepin’
dogs you fail to accost.

Don’t reach into the blender
when your boat’s up a tree.
Neither a borrower, lender,
nor innocent bystander be.

Be prepared: don't go twitchin’
bin-less. Still, seize the day.
Always dance in the kitchen.
Congrats! You’re graduates! Yay!

[John Whitworth]

I shall, Roger. Thank you.

Tht goes to the same tune, Julie. More or less.

I haven't tried it, Julie, but it says if you sign in you can create your own personal set of favorites.

PS-- Or if you want to spare yourself the bother, set their "Classic" set as your default page. It looks like a very good collection without too many obscure or extraneous entries.

Always Dance in the Kitchen

I’m dazzled by her dance across the floor,
her beat the rhythm of a racing heart.
With restless energy, she makes her start,
glides to the kitchen pantry to explore.

With whisk in hand, she whips to slowly pour
some eggs with parmesan, the crucial part.
She tempts me with her culinary art
and sashays toward the oven’s open door.

Hips shifting high and low, a cheeky sway,
she slides her bright frittata (potatoes, eggs,
red peppers, onions) into our new Mugnaini.
In close embrace, caressing with my legs,

I dip her deep to stimulate romancing
and sweetly spicy after-dinner dancing.
