TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In Word 97, look in the Help file under "International characters". From
the "Topics found" list, choose "Type international characters" for a list
of the keyboard commands (shortcuts). For French, they are typically CTRL+
the accent required, then the character to be accented.
If the accented character you want isn't in the list, you can use Insert |
Symbol from the menu bar (slow but it works) or assign your own keyboard
shortcut to the character.

about Word Perfect, too.
