AHA! I don't have it either, 'cause I use an American keyboard here in Canada, but hey, check this trick out:
1) Turn your "Num Lock" key on, up to the numeric keypad on the right... the light in top right corner of the keyboard should be on.
2) Press ALT + the following combinations of numbers (
FROM THE NUMPAD) to obtain the letter of your choice. Release ALT to let the e, a, i, o, u with accents magically appear on the screen:
ALT + 130 = é
ALT + 138 = è
ALT + 136 = ê
ALT + 133 = à
ALT + 131 = â
ALT + 140 = î
ALT + 147 = ô
ALT + 150 = û
Italian accents (hey, they minght come in handy one day...)
ALT + 149 = ò
ALT + 151 = ù
ALT + 141 = ì
It's not really a "trick", just basic MS-DOS and Windows symbol codes... they exist for all symbols... all kinds of accents and cool stuff like this:
ªº¿ó¬½¼¡
the such...
you just have to find the right one... in Paris I have a list
Of course, you can always copy-paste them from the "Insert symbol" option from WORD, but that's a lot longer ins't it?
