Why would anyone write a macro to insert an accented letter instead of using
the built-in keyboard shortcuts? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "trip_to_tokyo" wrote in message ...

Uusing a foreign words.
On the US keyboard, the basic accents for West European letters are
typed by typing Ctrl plus a punctuation mark that resembles the accent, then the letter that takes the accent (lowercase or capital). For French, the marks a apostrophe for acute accent, grave accent (left of the 1 key) for grave accent, caret (shift-6) for circumflex accent, colon for dieresis, and comma for cedilla.

Uusing a foreign words.
Hi,
In addition to the techniques described in the other replies, there are shortcut keys for accent marks that you can press before you type a letter. If the accent-letter combination is supported, the accent will be added to the letter. For example, if you press Ctrl+' (Ctrl together with apostrophe) before pressing e, é will appear. If you press Ctrl+' (Ctrl together with grave) before pressing e, è will appear. Pressing Ctrl+: and then o produces ö. Pressing Ctrl+^ and then o produces ô. Pressing Ctrl+~ and then o produces õ. Pressing Ctrl+, and then c produces ç. Pressing Ctrl+/ and then o produces ø. Pressing Ctrl+@ and then a produces å. In all of these cases, you can press many other letters instead of the letter that I gave in the example. These shortcut keys work for any supported combination or an accent mark and a letter. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "Using foreign words." wrote: When using a foreign word (French) how can I add the required accents? |

These Windows shortcuts are useful because they work in other (but
unfortunately not all—at least the last time I checked) Office programs and some other programs as well. Word shortcuts only work within Word. Doug, I think the keypad numbers should be 0224, 0225, 0226, 0232, and 0233. The three-digit numbers give extended ASCII characters (α, ß, etc.); the four- digit numbers give the results you describe.
