Here is a link to an online "keyboard" to type Polish letters without downloading any special programs. All you have to do is click on the character you want, then highlight the letter, then cut and paste into your document or email.

I found it very easy to use.

Shellie,

Just tried the link you provided and it works great!! Tried all of the Polish characters plus the formatting options (bold, underlined, etc.) with Word 2007 and WordPerfect X3 and all worked well. As you said, just type your word(s) into the area in our browser window, copy and paste into your document or email, and viola!! Polish characters.

Thanks again for the link . . .

Bob

In Poland most popular is English keyboard (QWERTY) and to make diacritics is used programmed settings (in operating system). To set Polish keyboard in Windows Vista you should click on Control Panel and thenRegional and Language Options. I suggest Polish (programmer) keyboard. To make diacritic in that setting, you press left alt and letter with diacritic you want, e.g. for ó is Left Alt+o, for ć is Left Alt+c. Exception is ź - to make it you press Left Alt+x.

I don't know how it works in Windows Vista, but in Windows XP for example you have to install the Polish on the Control Panel and after that you have to change the language from EN onto PL on the taskbar (below the window on the right side). Your keyboard will recognize Polish then.

Hi!
Well, I'm one of the last holdouts on the iphone. I still have my obsolete flip phone - even my mother who is in her 70's has an iphone! Funny though, one of the main reasons I don't want to switch to an iphone is that I can't type on the keyboard!

Maybe you have already seen this?
