Zoe needs an two-dot accent over the "e" for pronunciation. How can I set up
my PC in Word and Outlook to add the marks every time I type the name?

There is a built-in character, ë, in almost every font. You can enter that
character in a Word document in any of these ways:
- Use the Insert > Symbol dialog
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm).
- With NumLock turned on, hold down the Alt key while typing the number 0235
on the number pad.
- Hold the Ctrl key while pressing the colon ( key; then release both keys
and press the e key.
When you have done this once and you have the word Zoë in a document, select
it and make it the AutoCorrect replacement for Zoe without the accent (which
is technically called a diaeresis) so you won't ever have to do it again.

How do you set the spelling check in Outlook to automatically change Zoe to
Zoë? I have recently upgraded to service pack 3 on Windows XP and the
functionality no longer works. I am composing email messages in HTML and not
editing with Word.

In addition to other mechanisms, I like the application "Allchars". This
works the same in all application, so you only have to learn one way.
With Allchars, I would tap Ctrl (not hold it) then type ":" and "e" and
I would get the ë that I just typed. It handles all of the well-known
accented characters out of the box, along with many other symbols. You
can configure it for your own characters as well.
