Special Characters in Data Entry Boxes

Aug 12, 2015

Hello all!

I'm working on a quiz for a class that will be translating from English into Irish. Irish has the following special characters - á, é, ó, í, ú, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú - which are usually produced using the alt gr + vowel buttons. These buttons work when I'm designing the quiz but when I preview the quiz they don't work in the Data Entry Boxes I'm using as blanks. I'm using Storyline 2.

I would be very grateful for any advice.

Le gach dea-ghuí,
Eoin

Hi Eoin, 

Thanks for reaching out here - I know it's been a previous question in regards to functionality of the Alt Gr + keystrokes, and at least one user mentioned it could be associated with third party tools which are intercepting it.  Another solution was to use the method detailed here to insert those type of characters.

Hope that helps and let us know if you're still running into difficulty.
