SUMMARY
You can insert foreign language characters and punctuation in a Word for Windows document using any of the four methods listed below. This article provides an extensive list of EQ and SYMBOL fields you can use to create Hungarian language characters.

Method 1: Choose the Symbol Command from the Insert Menu
Use this method to insert available symbols. To access a different set of symbols, select a different font in the Symbols From box.

Method 2: Type the ANSI Character Code
Use this method to insert available symbols. To enter an extended ANSI character using the ANSI character code:


 * 1) Turn on NUM LOCK.
 * 2) Hold down the ALT key and type the four-digit code on the numeric keypad.

Method 3: Change the International Settings
You can use the International icon in Windows Control Panel to change the Country, Language, and Keyboard Layout settings. For information on these settings, see the Control Panel section of your &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide.&quot; For pictures of international keyboard layouts, see pages 623-630 of the &quot;Microsoft MS-DOS User's Guide and Reference,&quot; version 5.0.

Use this method when you type many foreign characters and need to type them in other applications as well. This method changes the characters that are displayed when you press the keys on your keyboard.

Method 4: Insert EQ or SYMBOL Fields
Use this method if the character you need does not appear in the Insert Symbol dialog box and if you only occasionally need to type foreign words.

The following table lists the SYMBOL or EQ fields you can use to create Hungarian language characters. These fields use a 10 point Courier New font. If you use a different font or size, you may need to modify the field contents.

Note: Symbols 148 and 146 need to be in a courier-type font.

To obtain this application note, call Microsoft Product Support Services at (425) 454-2030. Note: Neither the User's Guide nor the Help menu contains information on the use of EQ fields in version 2.0 of Word for Windows. However, the documentation on the use of EQ fields in the User's Reference for Word version 1.x applies to Word version 2.0 as well.
