ACCENTS A L'ORDINATEUR
Classe de français
Most computers have several ways of typing and printing accents. There are also small programs that allow you to assign several strokes to a single key that you don't use. QuicKeys is one such program. Exactly how you type accented letters depends on your computer and the method you prefer.

required
to use the "option" key, abbreviated "opt."
If you use MS Word, you
can also use the "insert" menu, then "symbol" and find the letter you
want.

| Aigu (exemple: é) | opt e, then the letter you want (ie: hold down "opt" and "e" and then type the letter) |
| Grave (exemple: è) | opt `, then the letter you want (ie: hold down "opt" and ` and then type the letter) |
| Cedille (exemple: ç) | opt c |
| Cedille/Capital C | opt, shift, c |
| Circonflexe (exemple: ô) | opt i, then the letter you want (ie: hold down "opt" and "i" and then type the letter) |
