------------------

I am currently working on developing an exercise for German, and I 
would like to be able to type the German words with the singular and 
the plural as they would appear in a dictionary (or textbook), eg. die 
Straße, -n.  This is fine until I run into a word that takes an umlaut 
over a previous vowel in the plural form (ie. das Haus, die Häuser).  
The way that this is to be written is das Haus, -"er, except that the 
quotation marks are supposed to appear as an umlaut above the dash.  
Word 2000 doesn't list this as a special character and I have been 
unable to find a unicode or html code for it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
