Q: How do you make Text Accent Marks inside Movie Studio and Vegas Pro ?

Answer: There are two ways you can add âccënt màrks (grave, acute and circumflex) to text like you see in French language.

You can also add special character sets like ♫ ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ ♂ ♀

Method One

Go to Windows Start Button - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map

Selecting your Special Characters

Once you have the Character Map window open, just Select which character you want and then press Copy.

Now go back into the Text & Titles window in Movie Studio or Vegas Pro, and simple Paste your character in.

Please note that using the Drop Down box accesses every Font Set installed on your computer. Some Font Sets have a larger amount of Special Characters available compared to others.

Method Two

The second method for accessing special characters and accents, involves using a combination of the ALT key and a numeric value.

1. Make sure you have the NUM LOCK key activated for the numeric keypad section of your keyboard.

*If you are on a laptop which does not have a numeric keypad on the right hand side, it's probably easier to just use Method One and Copy & Paste your characters.

2. Keep the ALT key depressed and then type the relevant number sequence from the table below.

3. Release the ALT key and the character will appear
