Use keyboard shortcuts
The following key combinations can also be used by Microsoft Word users to apply accent marks to their letters. For instance, hold down Ctrl and press ‘ to get à. Release both keys after that, then immediately hit A.
Immediately after releasing the shortcut keys, you must swiftly hit the letter key. Otherwise, a letter without accents is produced.
