Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I am currently working on an essay in Italian, having just completed a year abroad as part of my degree at Leicester University. Like Mike Hardaker (18 June), I too am using a Microsoft word processor program, however, mine is Works for Windows, not Word for Windows. I am still searching for a way of incorporating foreign accents into my work. Could you advise me of how best to obtain instructions for adapting the program, as, having spent so long trying to create a presentable essay, I don't want to spoil it by adding accents by hand.

I would like to get in contact to someone in Irkutsk in Siberia via E-mail. I am quite new in this business and do not know much so far. But I hope to get familiar with it soon because it would be very helpful for me to have a contact to Irkutsk working more rapidly than the two or more weeks normal post takes to get from there to here (Berlin, Germany).

I own a Macintosh LCII computer which has a variety of fonts, but not one compatible with the Serbo-Croat lanaguage. Is there a Serbo-Croat font available that would be compatible with my machine?
