How to Enter Diacritics in Evergreen

There are several methods for entering diacritics in Evergreen:

1. Click CTRL+S when in the MARC Editor window to bring up the diacritics palette.
2. Copy and paste the symbol from the web page into the MARC editor window. For example: http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/accents/codealt.html#accent
3. Copy and paste the symbol from the Character map in Windows.

NOTE:

• When searching within Evergreen, if you search for “José,” you will also retrieve items with “Jose.”
• KNOWN BUG: When you enter the MARC edit screen and click in a subfield area of a tag, you can hit CTRL+S to bring up the Diacritics window. When you first go into the MARC edit screen, this option works. If you click on the Flat-Text Editor option and then un-click the option, the CTRL+S option stops working.
