LizW65:
Okay, anyone know how to get the accent marks into French phrases in Word?  When I try to do it by clicking "insert special character" and then the accent mark, it appears between the letters instead of over them.  This is driving me nuts!  Help!

Um, are you trying to insert the accent mark itself, or the vowel with the accent mark over it ?  Doing the latter from the appropriate "insert special character" table (the install of Word I have at work has several and a pull-down menu for selecting between them) seems to be working for me.

(Insert standard rant about how Word is the last piece of software anyone should write a novel in if they have any choice here.)

I use the keyboard shortcuts with Word: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051865621033.aspx

I switched to Euro-english on my Windows language at home.  It can be extremely obnoxious at times but it definitely puts accents over things if you need them.

Wiz posted this yesterday; I got the accent over my "A" at last.   ;D
