RE: Help - French Accents - Barb

[Guest guest]

Barb, You won't find the French accents on a standard English keyboard. If

you want those you'd have to change your keyboard settings in Windows. I

don't know how to do that off the top of my head but you can probably find

out if you go to " Start " " Settings " " Control Panel " " Keyboard " or search on

the web for changing keyboard settings.

Hugs,

Pam

Found it! Go to " Start " " Settings " " Control Panel " " Keyboard "

Click on the " Input Locales " tab at the top

Under " Installed Input Locales " you probably only have " English(USA) "

Click on Add and select " French(Canada) "

After that you have to reboot your computer... I didn't go this far so I'm

not sure after that how you switch between the two keyboard layouts.

This is what it says in the Help file:

To add an input locale and keyboard layout

Open Regional Options in Control Panel.

On the Input Locales tab, click Add.

In the Add Input Locale dialog box, click the input locale and keyboard

layout or Input Method Editor (IME) you want to add.

Notes

To open a Control Panel item, click Start, point to Settings, click Control

Panel, and then double-click the appropriate icon.

You add input locales to specify the language and keyboard layout or IME you

want to use to type. When you add an input locale, a keyboard layout or IME

for that language is also added. Keyboard layouts and IMEs vary to

accommodate the special characters and symbols used in different languages.

When the Enable indicator on taskbar check box on the Input Locales tab is

selected and you have two or more input locales installed, an indicator

representing the current input locale appears on the taskbar. To quickly

switch between input locales, click the indicator, and then click the input

locale you want to use.

You can add input locales for any installed language group. If you do not

see the input locale you want, then install the language group that contains

the input locale.
