Typing in Hebrew

William

I am not able to type in Hebrew with the vowels and such.  Is there a way to do that?  I can get Hebrew lettering to come up.  If I find a key with a vowel on it I can not get it to line up like a textbook.

Hi, William. The following may or may not be helpful to you. I am using Windows 7 Professional on my PC.

Before I send you elsewhere, do this. Click on START, then RUN. Type in OSK, then hit ENTER. This opens up the OnScreenKeyboard. If you've already installed a Hebrew keyboard, simply hold down the LEFT alt key, and tap the LEFT shift key twice. In the lower right hand corner of your screen the EN should have changed to HE. Simultaneously the OSK will have changed to the Hebrew characters. Notice what happens when you hold down the SHIFT key; notice what happens when you put on the CAPS LOCK.

If you have not installed a Hebrew (or Greek, for that matter) keyboard, then LOGOS has a superb set at http://www.logos.com/support/downloads/keyboards. I had a hiccup on my system early on and improvised by using http://www.tyndale.cam.ac.uk/index.php?page=unicode. The second one supports Macs.  I never bothered to fix the hiccup or I would have gone back to the LOGOS keyboards. Install both to see which works best for your system. In both instances there are superb instructions on "how to do it."

If your weather is like mine (4" of snow as I type this and still falling) then you've all day to play...heheheh.[:O]
