Can someone tell me how to do accents over letters?

[Prunie]

I have a Mac, if that matters.

Ta.

Try here, Pruni

(Um - those are for PCs though, will they work on a Mac?)

ctrl shift (hold both and type the accent, let go, nothing will happen, then type the letter you want to use)

do you have word?

go to insert,
then symbols

Does this help for Mac?

´^µ?ø??

Just testing to see if alt key works

Sorry didn't see the Mac bit;

here

To get accents on the Mac, hold down the Option key, and while holding it down, type the letter e; then release those keys and type the letter that you want the accent to appear on:

á = Opt + e, then a
é = Opt + e, then e
í = Opt + e, then i
ó = Opt + e, then o
ú = Opt + e, then u
For the ñ, hold down the Option key while you type the n; release and type n again.

ñ = Opt + n, then n
To place the diaeresis over the u, hold down the Option key while pressing the u key; release and type u again.

ü = Opt + u, then u
The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:

¡ = Opt + 1
¿ Opt + shift + ?

It doesn't!

Hang on WW will try your link now

ee

I can't find the option key....

Look here too!

Is Option the same as Ctrl on Windows?

it should say alt option on the same key, to your left bottom line.

e
é
åçøéñ??´®?¥¨^ø?åß??©???¬??ç??~µ??

alt seems to have an effect
Still can't get a grave, though

Is it alt and thent he funny symbol that looks like half a saucepan?

(I am so crap at this)

With Windows, you hold down Alt and then type in the relevant number on the num keypad - eg

Alt + 0189 = ½
Alt + 0191 = ¿

does this work in Mac?

º¡?ª

I don't think so....
Hey ho
It just means I can't be a ponce

Option on the mac is alt, between ctrl and the apple key,

é = alt-e then e
è = alt- then e (is next to the 1)
ê = alt-i then e

obviously can do over any letter)
