How can I get a Swedish å?

[Hedlasse]

I use my NR70V for writing articles when I'm traveling. The built in keyboard is fast enough when you get used to it.

There's one problem I thought somebody on ClieSource could help me with; how can I reprogram the keyboard.

I get the Swedish (and Finnsh) ä and ö, but not the å. I can just get an "a" with a "´" and not an "a" with a circle on top.

Is there any way to change the keyboard setting?

I am quite sure that you can elicit the å very simply. I accidentally make the letter when I am writing quickly. I write a normal "a", and then I write a backwards/upside down "o" (ie start at the bottom, and write it in a counterclockwise fashion). The trick is to make the "o" immediately after the a, or it won't work.

Hope this helps.

An alternative is to invoke the virtual keyboard, select Int'l. Your å should be there.

Thank you for your help. but I seem to have been unclear when I described the problem. I can write an å with the pen on the graffiti area (I use swedish chars hack). What I cannot do, is write the å when I use the built in NR70 keyboard.
Is there an å on the keyboard or any way to change the keyboard?

It seems that noone outside our contries understand the problem. But I have a great solution for your problem. Try a program called "Keyboard Localizer". It can remap your keyboard as you want it. I use it and it works both with my internal keyboard on my NR70V and with the pockettop keyboard. I have also used it with the Palm keybaord I had with my Palm M505.

Tusen tack!
It works. Now I just have to decide witch keys I can change. The Keyboard Localizer doesn't seem to work with the ctrl and alt key on the built in keyboard.
Maybe I change the q or the z, they aren't much use in Swedish.
