I have just remembered (from the dim and distant past) that, in the likes of Notepad etc, the most common accented letter é can be obtained by holding down Ctrl and Alt whilst typing e. This can be quicker than using Alt+130.

In my case, only if I can remember enough ‘O’ Level French from 45 years ago!

Provided you know the appropriate code number, it is relatively easy to insert accented letters in Notepad, emails or the 15^2 comment box etc.

Firstly ensure that NumLock is on, then type the appropriate number whilst holding down the Alt key. For example, Alt+130 gives é.

A list of symbols/numbers can be found here:

This list is incomplete but gives the characters most likely to be needed.

I’d appreciate the info re the accents too – maybe it could be posted here. I’ve apologised a few times in the past for not including them in explanations.

Perhaps there may be others, like me, who would like to know, too!

I’ll contact you off line to let you know how.

But established with Russian help I understand! Is there a way of typing accents in Notepad, by the way?
