Using SPECIAL CHARACTERS

Accents, circumflexes, and so on--that make foreign text, well, look foreign. Luckily, Word 97 lets you appease your international clique, and impress your friends at the same time:

 1.      To type a character with an acute accent, press Ctrl + ' followed by the character.

2.      To type a character with a grave accent, press Ctrl + ` (the apostrophe under the tilde) followed by the character.

3.      To type a character with a circumflex, press Ctrl + Shift + ^ followed by the character.

4.      To type a character with a diaeresis, press Ctrl + Shift + :  followed by the character.

Some Examples:

à, è, ì, ò, ù   |  á, é, í, ó, ú, ý  |  â, ê, î, ô, û  |  ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ 

Have Fun!
