Type the tilde key “`” and then the “n” – to get `n. But I see you have got it right, send use the quick key 😉
Hi, this is very helpful. Thank you.
How do you make the double dots on the i as in the word “beïnvloed” on word document. This is my phone which I used to type that word.
Hold CTRL + SHIFT and press : then release and type the “i” – does that not work?
Baie baie dankie vir hierdie broodnodige hulp!
This is a winner!
