Simple Search

Enter a word into the text field of the interface. After 3 characters, it will also present you a list of words starting with this characters you have written so far. To simplify the search, if words beginning with small characters are entered, also those starting with capitals will be shown.

Special Characters

Norwegian as well as German has several umlauts which might not be on every keyboard. It is simplest to enter them using the clipboard (CTRL-C and CTRL-V on Windows, left mouse and middle mouse on Unix). In addition, the operation systems have different ways of providing those characters.

Windows

Special characters can be entered: To do so, open the document and position the insertion point where you want the special character to appear. Then, with NUM LOCK on, hold down the ALT key while using the number pad keys to type the Unicode character value.

Unix/X-Windows

You should have defined a Compose-character in your X resources. With this Compose character followed by a character sequence, you get the special characters.
