Francoise, to type a tilde over the vowels "a" and "o" in Mac Os X 10.3.9 and
Word version 10 (sorry, haven't moved up to version 11 yet), I use the
alt/option key plus the "n" key plus the upper-case or lower-case vowel over
which I wish to place the tilde. Sad to say, Word doesn't permit a tilde to
live over an "e", "i", or "u", perhaps because Portuguese needs the diacritical
mark over "a" and "o" but not the other vowels. I haven't had the occasion to
type a tilde over vowels in Dreamweaver using this system, but since it works
for the "n", I imagine it will work with the "a" and "o".
Good luck with the remaining vowels.
