Description:
My option key has no effect when I want special characters or accent marks. This happens in both word processing programs and Key Caps. A previous suggestion by No Wonder was to turn on Apple Talk. This did not work.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Open the Keyboard Control Panel (be sure the Control Panel is enabled in the Extensions Manager) and check your settings. Keep the keyboard layout at the default (Roman). You do not need to select (check) the "Command-Option-Spacebar" setting.
Hopefully this will help.
If not, look for a possible extensions conflict.
