Dumb tech question
LizW65:
Thanks for all the suggestions -- I will implement them forthwith.
Suilan:
No CTRL (see microsoft link) needed to type l'accent grave (è), l'accent aigu (é), or l'accent circonflexe (â) at least in my version of Word. Just type the accent followed by the letter.

I never even realized there were multiple "insert special character tables 'til now, but as soon as I located the one for Courier, I did just fine. Duhh!

Can you suggest some alternatives? (If they involve buying a new laptop or expensive software, I'm afraid I'll have to stick with Word for the next few years, but if there's some kind of free download, I'm open to it.)

Open Office, http://www.suite-download.com/ , is free, and is supposed to be compatible with files in MSWord format.

OpenOffice can open Word files, but Word can't open OpenOffice. Though I think it has an 'export as .pdf' option.
