directly with your (e.g. Western) keyboard.
Most of the special characters, such as
made up of the Latin letters A-Z a-z and diacritical characters such as acute
˘

(
and punctuation marks, e.g. for the endings of the ordinal numbers in Spanish
(ª and º) as well as the exclamation and interrogation marks put upside down (¡ and
¿).
The input methods described in the following will apply without restrictions to the
Latin-based language families.
Greek/Cyrillic language family
Certain special considerations need to be taken into account when inputting texts
using Greek or Cyrillic fonts.
Please refer to Section 3.8: Special considerations when working with Greek and
Cyrillic texts.
East Asian languages
Certain special considerations also need to be taken into account when creating
texts in Japanese, Chinese or Korean.
Please refer to Section 3.9: Special considerations when working with East Asian
texts.
Disruptive Word options
Deactivate the following options in Word to prevent unwanted characters from
reaching the text:
In the dialog "Extras"
under "Apply as you type":
"Automatic bulleted lists",
"Automatic numbered lists".
Under "Replace as you type":
""Straight quotes" with "Smart quotes"".
"English ordinals (1st) with superscript"
"Fractions (1/2) with fraction character (½)"
"Symbol characters (--) with symbols (—)"
If you do leave any of the options active then you can always use Ctrl+Z to undo
any automatic corrections. As a general rule this will give the same results as if the
option was deactivated.
