If you regularly need to add accents to your Word documents, you may know that you can add them using the Symbols feature. However, this can be time-consuming. A much quicker way is to add access by using keyboard shortcuts. This is much faster and less cumbersome than using the symbols dialog box.
To add accents with your keyboard:
1. Turn on the Num Lock key.
2. Hold down the Alt key.
3. Type the following numbers on the Numeric Keypad (not the numbers located on top of our keyboard).
4. Enter in the following number combination for the accent you want to add:
Alt + 129: ü
Alt + 130: é
Alt + 131: â
Alt + 132: ä
Alt + 131: é
Alt + 132: ä
Alt + 133: à
Alt + 134: å
Alt + 135: ç
Alt + 136: ê
Alt + 137: ë
