Typing accents

Not being a PC user, I can't check if all this is right so please leave feedback in comments

Copy and paste from french.typeit.org if online.

If offline, eg in Word use alt codes using the numeric pad and NUMBER LOCK on
eg e acute é is ALT 130
more alt codes here
here's another list

On the mac use the alt key
é (acute) is alt e release alt and type e (acute is only ever on an e, in French)
è (grave) is alt ` (to the left of z) release alt and type e or whatever letter eg
à is alt ` (to the left of z) release alt and type a
ç is alt c
ë is alt u, release alt and type e or whatever letter
î (circumflex) is alt i release alt type i or whatever letter
For capitals use the shift key in the above before the letter, although it is not necessary to put accents above capitals letters.
