Type Accented Letters in Microsoft Word and Outlook

Do you know that with 1 additional keystroke, you can create accented letters like the ones shown below?

ç é à ø â å ü ñ

Here are a few words that use these accents that have been adopted into the English vocabulary:

o  Résumé

o  Déjà vu

o  Pâté

o  Voilà

The following instructions work in Microsoft Word or Outlook (if you are using Word as your email editor).  If you want to use the accented words in other applications you can type them in Word and then copy/paste them into another application.
