Does anybody know how to do it? It's usually French ones I want to use.

Just copy and paste-any language ,even Greek.

Can't you do it with your normal keyboard? It's easy on a mac; the øption kéy gives yoü åccêss to several açcents and special characters (use the keyboard viewer to see them all)

In Windows the Character Map tool is probably the easiest way of doing this (on an occasional basis).

I'll check it out. Thanks. It's only the odd word, like today I wanted the accent on the end of passe.

 

Edit: Passé

 

In Windows 10 type 'character map' in the Search box > Choose letter > Click Select > Click Copy > Paste

 

Cheers

Are there keyboard shortcuts for them?

 

One might expect them to work even when not using Word

Doesn't seem to work.

Bummer. It just seems like a no-brainer to have this as an OS-level function rather than a program-level one.

Yes, it should really.
