Insert your accent into Word documents April 17 2006
Q: I sometimes need to type in a word in Word (Heh!), that has an accent or a tilde (~) above a letter, but switching to a different default language is too cumbersome for such a little task. How can I enter these types of characters without a hassle?
A: In Word, there is a handy feature that will allow you to enter non-American English letters. Here’s how you use it:
-In Word:
1. Insert > Symbol...
2. Scroll either up or down to find the letter you desire
-More than likely you will find your character in the Subset: Latin-1
3. Click 'Insert'
4. Click 'Close' when done |
