I’m going to give this add-in a try. Thanks, Toxaris. I especially like the prospect of looking for all accented words. The manuscript I’m working with now has a good deal of Spanish in it, as well as some Apache language which uses accents, but also letters with a line through them (example: Daĵɨdɨl).

I do have a question about what fonts I should be using that will ensure the various e-readers will be able to produce such letters instead of inserting an empty box if they are not available in the reader. I need both a serif and a sans-serif font for this manuscript. The Apache parts will use the sans-serif font. Is it best to try to embed the fonts or to specify in the code serif or sans-serif and hope for the best?

Thanks.
