Special Characters
How to Put Accented or Other Special
Characters in Documents or E-mails
Method Peculiar to MS Word
MS
Word (newer versions) uses an intuitive
approach giving it advantages similar to
IE.:
1.
Press CTRL and tap one of the punctuation
keys ` ' , ~ : ^ that most closely
resembles the accent needed.
2.
Either keep the Ctl key down or release
it, it doesn't matter.
3.
Press the letter to be modified and the
accented character will appear.
Thus
Ctrl+: with u gives ü and Ctrl+, with C
gives Ç.
For
example (from MS Word
help/index/characters/inserting/type
international):
|
à, è, ì, ò, ù - À, È, Ì, Ò,
Ù |
CTRL+`
(ACCENT GRAVE), the letter
or the LETTER |
|
á, é, í, ó, ú, ? - Á, É, Í,
Ó, Ú, ? |

|
â, ê, î, ô, û Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û
|
CTRL+^ (CARET), the letter |
|

CTRL+~ (TILDE), the letter |
|
ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö,

Many
non-English characters, as well as icons
for food, holidays, activities, signs,
math, and much more, is found in the
Insert Menu, choosing "Symbol." Within the Symbol
Window, the font Lucida Sans Unicode
also provides characters in numerous
languages. These seem to work only
within MS Word.
For Use in
All Other Programs (and Word)
Depress the ALT key and hold it down
while you type in the four-digit number
listed below. To type the numbers, you
must use the numeric keypad on the right
side of your keyboard, not the number
keys on the top row and the Num
Lock Key must be on.
