Microsoft Word Accent Codes

Typing accent codes in Microsoft Word (or WordPad) is almost as easy as owning a Mac. Thanks to Penn State for this helpful link.

Here are the basic ones. The symbol "V" means any vowel.

Acute	ó Ó	Control+', V	(apostrophe key)
Circumflex	ô Ô	Shift+Control+^, V
Grave	ò Ò	Control+`, V
Tilde	ñ Ñ	Shift+Control+~, V	(n, a, o only)
Umlaut	ö Ö	Shift+Control+:, V	(colon key)

See the link for more details and additional characters.

Cheers,
Angus
