Easy. It's not a long umlaut umlaut, but a tilde: ~.
I just get it by first typing the tilde and then the
needed letter (~a = ã, ~o = õ).
à = ALT+0195
Õ = ALT+0213
ã = ALT+0227
õ = ALT+0245
Another letter I use in Hattic, is e~, but that's a
different problem. That's why I replaced it with ~i,
so it works at least in Word.
Neither does it work for the "u", so Hungarian will
have to do with its "acuted umlaut" after all.
Don't ask me about the Mac.
Cheerio,
Jan
