I need some help. I'm working on a database for our sales reps to use when contacting people, and I'm on a company who's executives have a lot of those dots (I believe they are called unlaouts) above their O's. Does anyone know how to do this on an American keyboard?
Thanks to everyone for your help

Ja, I do! Working for a German company, I use them a lot.
If you are using MS Word, use Insert, choose Symbol, and Normal Text. On the character map will be the letters that contain umlauts.

You can also look out the ascii code for them (as discussed in Software survival recently). IIRC, some versions of Symbol in Windows show the codes. That way, instead of having to do "Insert-Symbol" and choosing one, you can jsut hold down the Alt key and type a number.

The alternatives for Insert Symbol are:
Ctrl : o
(meaning Ctrl-Shift- and then o will make one.
Alt-148 on the number keypad (for most fonts - note however, that the results will vary by font).
