French Accents on a qwerty keyboard ( MkII)

[essancee]

Can anyone tell me the necessary key combinations to produce french accents - graves, cedillas etc? Thanks in anticipation CG

These works on our keyboard but don't know of it's a MKII or not or what difference this might make anyhow.

Hold down the alt key and simultaneously type the required 3 digits on the numeric keyboard:

 é 130,  â 131,   à 133,  ç 135,  ê 136,  è 138,  ï  139,   î 140,  æ 145,  ô 147,  ö  148,  œ 156,  À 0192,  È 0200,  É 144, Ç 128

I hope this helps.

Chezchattes - It works, it works - now my appalling French will at least be correctly accented! Many Thanks Carole

The way I put the 'French touch' in is to just press 'left Alt' and 'left upper case' together, that transfers your keyboard to an azerty one. Then everything goes haywire. My keyboard is dysluksick in qwerty never mind the French one. But all you need to do is toggle between the 2 keyboards, it's a doddle. 2=é, 7=è, 9=ç, 0=à, etc. To do that little exersize took about 10 seconds, but beware when you've finished, put it back into qwerty. Thinking about it if you REALLY want to confuse your other half?  . But you wouldn't do that would you?

P.S. You will have great fun when you get down to the bottom right hand corner of the keyboard... Good luck, it really is easy.

Nearly forgot, the numbers are the ones on the top of the keyboard, not on the numeric pad!
