How to Type an Umlaut in Microsoft Word

1. Insert the cursor where you want to type an umlaut in an open Word document.
2. Press “Ctrl-Shift-;” and then type the vowel over which you want an umlaut to appear. This will insert the lowercase version of the vowel with an umlaut over it.
3. Press “Ctrl-Shift-;" and then press “Shift” and the vowel requiring the umlaut. This results in an uppercase umlauted vowel.
