From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 7 Mar 2010 18:40 Did you actually read the original post? Although the subject line says "over score," the actual message says: <<how do i put ` mark over top of the letter e such as in Beef Jardinie`re>> From this it is clear that what the OP is looking for is an e with a grave accent (regardless of what he calls it). I did refer to the http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm article in another post, but that is NOT what the OP was asking for. -- Suzanne S.
