Suspect no easy way of doing this, but here's the question anyhow:
Person's name (in Czech, we think) contains an accented character
which looks like a letter "r" with a "v" above it (not sure whether
lower or uppercase, probably former).
Can it be done in Word for Windows? If not available in version 2,
could it be done in version 6?
My own little bit of research tells me:
(i) Windows itself does not contain this character
(ii) " " DOES contain upper & lower "s" with this accent
(iii) " " does not contain the accent alone as a character
which could be used to overprint the letter "r"
(iv) (just for interest) WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS _does_ offer this
character, and calls it r-Caron. The character translates to
underscore however if then imported into WinWord.
