Shortcuts for inserting international letters
Word
365
Often you need to insert several words or letters from a language with accents like French or German. For example, to type a foreign company or person name.
Sure, you can install and use a language specific keyboard layout, but this is not advisable for rare operations. Also, you can use the Symbol dialog box to find and insert a symbol you need.
However, key combinations for different accents and other special characters in Work help faster enter foreign letters and words.
