<div class="WordSection1">Everything goes well, all letters, symbols and accents work as they should, except for the command \”{o}. What results is un upper index dot-comma followed by an o. Is there anybody with the same problem, and what went wrong here?
How can I get an umlaut?</div>

<br>
Generally, I personally prefer to just type (or copy-paste) the umlaut (ö) if possible; and use an encoding like utf-8 (the default) that supports it, of course.<br>
Regarding your problem: did you make sure that Format > Smart Quotes is set to None. Otherwise the program will convert \" (backslash-double quote) into \'' (backslash-single quote-single quote) as it replaces " by the "correct" TeX commands for closing quotation
marks, ' '.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I think that there is another issue, Stefan, in that Mr van Leeuwen is (if his e-mail is correct) using backslash followed by Unicode Character 'RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK' (U+201D), whereas he should be using backslash followed by Unicode Character 'QUOTATION
MARK' (U+0022).<br>
