You shouldn't lose your accent marks - not at all.

 

Just copy the block of text in Word, open a Graphics effect in DS and hit Ctrl+v to paste.  You don't need to first make a text body - just paste the Word Clipboard straight into the Graphics body.

 

You can do the same thing with Web pages.

You will lose your accent marks. Microsoft Word no longer uses the [alt]-number pad keyboard combo for accented characters but I can attest to the fact that the DS does. I'm not sure what you are going to get when you cut and paste frm the document. Also Word does not make web pages correctly with accents (unless you are using the Mac version for some reason).

 

Do a google search on Windows and Accent marks and you will get the [alt] number keypad combos.

 

Also, in Spanish, if the letter is capitalized, the accent may be omitted if that helps.

Here's an easy one:

 

I have a multipage document of Spanish-language supers I need to bring into my DS project,  to make subtitles for an existing English-language project. 

 

What's the best way? Save the Word document as HTML? Import the HTML? How do I open the HTML and select only the phrases that I want, in order to cut it up into a series of titles for supering?

 

How do I ensure that I don't lose the accent marks from the original document?
