If this is for Microsoft Word or publisher you can go to insert and then select symbol, and choose which character you want (like the a with an accent or o with two dots above) If this is not for word or publisher, then you can copy it from word or publisher. Or go to the Windows start menu and select the character map.

∙ 11y agoThat depends on the hardware and software you are using to type. For example, with Microsoft Word you can use the Insert Symbol command and scroll to the Latin-1 subset. Clicking on the a umlaut tells you that the Unicode for that character is 00E4 and that (for future reference) the shortcut key is alt+0228. Then you can insert that symbol into your document by clicking on the Insert button. But in general (on a Windows system), the shortcut key should work whether you are in Word or not: while holding down the Alt key, type 0228 on the numeric keypad. I will attempt to do that now but answers.com might not accept it properly: ä
Looks like it worked. At least, it looks right on my system using my browser (Firefox). By the way, 228 is the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal number E4.
