This is a very simple tutorial that i would have loved to see when i was in Spanish 1 and French 1 trying to put accents on all of my e's and i's and other letters. Many people believe that accents can only be done on macs, or if you use a PC, you have to go to the symbols area of your word processor and insert one that way. However, by using the ALT key and your keypad, you can make many different types of accents. I tried do use the number keys right above the letter keys on my keyboard, and they didnt work, so make sure you type in all of the number using the keypad on your keyboard while holding down the ALT key. Here are a bunch of different combos:

Code:
ALT+133 = *                  ALT+0192 = À
ALT+160 = á                  ALT+0193 = Á
ALT+131 = â                  ALT+0194 = Â
ALT+132 = ä                  ALT+0196 = Ä
ALT+135 = ç                  ALT+0199 = Ç
ALT+130 = é                  ALT+0201 = É
ALT+138 = è                  ALT+0200 = È
ALT+136 = ê                  ALT+0202 = Ê
ALT+137 = ë                  ALT+0203 = Ë
ALT+139 = ï                   ALT+0207 = Ï
ALT+140 = î                   ALT+0206 = Î
ALT+141 = ì                   ALT+0204 = Ì
ALT+161 = *                   ALT+0205 = Í
ALT+149 = ò                  ALT+0210 = Ò
ALT+162 = ó                  ALT+0211 = Ó
ALT+147 = ô                  ALT+0212 = Ô
ALT+148 = ö                  ALT+0214 = Ö
ALT+151 = ù                  ALT+0217 = Ù
ALT+163 = ú                  ALT+0218 = Ú
ALT+150 = û                  ALT+0219 = Û
ALT+129 = ü                  ALT+0220 = Ü
ALT+0134 = *

you can find stuff like this while searching google.com, but whenever i search google for stuff i like this half of the time it doesnt work. I have tested a lot of these and they all seem to work. Anyways thanks for reading and good luck in your spanish/french/italian/other language classes!

EDIT: there are suppose to be spaces in between the combos, but even though i have put them it, they are all glued together. Instead of spaces, i currently have "*********". Think of "*********" as a bunch of spaces for now can someone tell me how i can fix that problem?
