Entering Other Symbols and Accented Characters
Symbols and accented characters that do not appear on the keyboard are sometimes called
alternate characters because you use the Alt key to enter them.
1. Enter the character that corresponds to the symbol or accented character you want.
(See the table on the next page.)
2. Press Alt .
3. Press Up , Down , Right , or Left to highlight the desired character.
4. Press Center to insert the character.
Tip: To see a list of additional alternate characters, position the cursor at the
beginning of the line or after a space, and then press
Alt . The alternate
characters are grouped by their similarity to the base key. For example,
the alternate characters available for the e key are é, è, ë, and ê.
