The alt method that Paul describes will work, but seems to be using the old ANSI numbers. There are easier ways! You should of course save the file as UTF-8, as Paul says. I would also typeset with xelatex to take advantage of Unicode, which Win XP is built on:<br>
<br>
% !TEX TS-program = xelatex<br>
<br>
1) I am guessing from the German that appears in the configuration details that Ralf provided that his native language is German. German computer keyboards, I believe, allow one to enter umlauted vowels directly, and this should work with no problem in TeXworks just as it does in Word or any other up to date software. (It might not work in earlier, pre-Unicode TeX front ends.) Other German speakers on this list will correct me if I'm wrong about this.<br>
<br>
2) If I'm wrong about that, one can install the US-International keyboard in Windows, which provides easy access to many non-English characters; umlauts in this keyboard are accessed through the double-quote key. But this can a bit messy for those who do not use American-style physical keyboards.<br>
<br>
Use any font that comes with Windows in your editor; they all support Unicode nowadays.<br>

Hi Ralf,<br>
<br>
As you are under Windows — this solution will work in most editors set up<br>
for windows including TeXworks. See<br>
<a href="http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html" target="_blank">http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html</a> for<br>
other informaton as well.<br>
<br>
You need to makes sure that if you have changed your editor font that it<br>
supports extended characters - which would be obvious if this does not work<br>
:)<br>
<br>
Also generally you'll need to keep the utf-8 setting at the top of your<br>
LaTeX document,<br>
<br>
% !TEX TS-program = pdflatex<br>
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode<br>
<br>
And be sure that the fonts you choose for output will supported the<br>
characters that you need.<br>
<br>
Test by trying this.<br>
<br>
On your key board turn the Number Lock on to enable the numeric key pad for<br>
numerals. On some lap tops you may find a short cut key combination is<br>
required instead or use an alternative method<br>
<a href="http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/index.html#win" target="_blank">http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/index.html#win</a><br>
<br>
Holding the Alt key down without release, type a numeric code like 0151 and<br>
then release the Alt key. This should show the long hyhon.<br>
<br>
Here is an e with an umlaut 0235<br>
<br>
These numbers are normally the same as the { type configuration of you<br>
have ever used html numeric entities.<br>
<br>
Otherwise here is a list of the full swag -and there are nnn type codes as<br>
well but the four-digit ones are pretty reliably available.<br>
<br>
More information is available here (Mac):<br>
<br>
<a href="http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html" target="_blank">http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html</a><br>
<br>
If you require a limited range, it would be possible to set these up as<br>
insertions in TeXworks scripts with keyboard shortcuts as well (might be<br>
easier than remembering the numbers).<br>
<br>
I Hope that this solves it for you :)<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
how can I show mutated vowels (umlaut) at the sourcetext of Texworks?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!<br>
