Hi
We are corresponding with a lot of institutions and persons around the world, and many times we need to be able to enter special characters from the extended character sets. Such characters are for instance available as symbols in Word or other software packages, but not in Iris. Some may be entered using the <Alt> key and inserting the ASCII number. Isn't it possible to have a menue item for entering special characters/symbols in IRIS?
Furthermore, when for instance entering the polish name Janečk we run into problems. The name is spelled with a 'c' having a notch on top (for example used in the cultivar name Rhododendron 'Ken Janečk'), and entering it by copy-paste from Word seems OK. But when searching it up after having saved a record, or exporting it to a report or a label, the character has reverted to a standard 'c' behind the curtain, so to speak. The same happens for a number of special, non-anglo-american characters. Hope this can be fixed!
