The breathing and accent of Greek words become confused in a build rather than being separate characters.

    Greek words become confused

    That's funny George. I become confused at Greek words, my breathing becomes troubled, and I speak with a strange accent.

    George,

    could you post some screenshot and your document? I just tried with an arbitrary section of SIL Exegetical Summaries I happened to have open - just cut text out which includes greek with accent marks and breathing, pasted to Word 2007 and built the book - the Greek looks absolutely the same.

    What Greek fonts do you use in Word and in Logos - I seem to remember that may make a difference?  

    EDIT: forgot to say: I use SBL Greek in Logos (and this was carried over to Word and back).

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    Since you're from Brooklyn you probably speak with a strange accent even without it being Greek.  [:D]  [6]  [;)]

    This is not copy and paste material but original entry and occurs almost, if not entirely exclusively when a vowel with breathing and accent are initial.  Note the circled word.

    I use kadmosU.

    Hm. Maybe playing with the font might help, although in my quick trest (copied Rev 2:20 from Blueletterbible) kadmosU seems to work.

    Hm. I'm not into typing greek with accents and breathing marks (actually I'm not much into Greek at all!) - but this shouldn't make a difference. Tried making your text snipped start of the sentence, even marked as heading: no issue, kadmosU seems to differentiate the two marks even better than SBL Greek:
