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!
