Bob,

This makes my heart so happy--that is amazing how that has worked out for you.  Congrats on your new little girl.  You both had lost someone and now you have each other.

By the way, you type an ä by holding down the alt key and typing 0228

Katherine.
Madchen and I thank you.The alt 0228 didn't work but that's OK. Our little girl
won't be reading these posts any way ;D

There is nothing like a reply to your own last post.
Our vet called and said he had a miniature Dachshund
whose owner had passed away and the family didn't want it.
A female,18 months old with all shots current and free of
charge to a good home. She is now our little girl and I
have named her "Madchen".How can I umlaut certain
letters on a computer?The letter "a"in her name ought to
be umlauted.

Bob Roller

Mädchen like this. Use alt 132 and that is the code for ä if this is what you want Hold down the alt key then press 132 and when you release the alt key youll have your ä. Take a look at this page explains better than I can. http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/extended-ascii-code/letter-a-umlaut-diaeresis-a-umlaut-lowercase-ascii-code-132.html

Apparently this computer doesn't like German but thanks for the help.

FYI and a little late...the umlaut in German is also represented by using an "e" after the character that needs the umlaut, e.g. Maedchen.

I was unaware of it too, until I worked a little in Germany and saw this word that I couldn't pronounce (because of the "e" representing the umlaut) and asked about it.

It's a piece of walnut.  The grain appears to be a bit more wild in the photos, but it actually was real nice.  We're careful in selecting walnut as it can vary a great deal.  Some isn't suitable for gunstocks at all.
