Can't add apostrophe (single quote) to a name in Contact list.

At least on a US Enligh keyboard, it is common to use a single quote (') as an apostrophe. I tried to use one in a contact name, but it appears that the character set is restricted for that window. Her name is Rene', not Rene or Renee - just ask her. :-)

Thanks for the great product!

    An apostrophe is not allowed - expected behavior.

    I would think that Reneé is correct (e-acute, not e+apostrophe), which is allowed.

    You can type that on a US keyboard (like I did) or you can use Word (or other text editor) to type her name, inserting a 'symbol' where required and then copy-paste it to the contacts.

    I didn't know you could do that on a standard US keyboard. How do I do it?

    Thanks!

    Basically you define your keyboard as "International" and then you can use key combinations for those characters -- pretty much required for me since I live in Mexico -- although 99% of my work/email is in English.

    Here's an article that might help.
