WORD 2007

There are various ways to do this.

1. Insert / Symbols group / More Symbols . . . / choose the character that
you want then Insert.

2. Set up a macro(s) for the character(s) in your Quick Access Toolbar then,
when you need the character, all you have to do is to click once to insert
the required character into yout text.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

Alt + Numeric Pad 224 gives à
Alt + Numeric Pad 225 gives á
Alt + Numeric Pad 226 gives â
Alt + Numeric Pad 232 gives è
Alt + Numeric Pad 233 gives é

However, if you set the language to French, you can use the spelling checker
to correct your spelling by inserting the necessary accents.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/InsertSpecChars.htm for a description
of numerous methods for inserting special characters, including Word's
built-in shortcuts for accented letters.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on
Why would anyone write a macro to insert an accented letter instead of using
the built-in keyboard shortcuts?
