The accent for the various foreign languages are made by hitting a certain
3-numbered combination while holding you ALT key.

Although this works within any software, it is a very cumbersome method.
Some teachers also use this method for word processing software.
There is no system in the order of the ALT keys and without a reference
chart it is hard to master. However, on a Macintosh computer or a PC word
processors such as WordPerfect and Word there is a very logic strategy that
can be learned in minutes. Rather than referring to the characters below, I
suggest you check out my web page with a quick referral page and PDF
formatted handouts as reference for the students.
