Message-ID: <20263.2741568c@oregon.uoregon.edu> Date: 14 Nov 90 22:37:00 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: University of Oregon Lines: 27 Hi everybody, I have a very stupid question to ask... A friend of mine is taking French in Grad school, therefore using Ms Word she wants to access all those lovely accents and extra characters that the US keyboard doesn't show ! Being French myself I never thought I could be faced with such a questio Therefore the question is how do you get those extra ASCII characters through the US keyboard, is there a way like on other computers to configure the keyboard in French ? should she buy a French Keyboard ? This is a really basic question from a begginner so please don't blame me, I have a good knowledge of computers but it is neither Apple neither IBM because they are too expensive in France. (in fact I'm an Atari 1040stf user... which is also a MC68000 machine) Thanks for you reply at the following adress, Friendly, Jean-Philippe DIEL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diel Jean-Philippe MBA 1 University of Oregon, EUGENE USA Bitnet = DIELJEAN@OREGON Internet= DIELJEAN@OREGON.UOREGON.EDU --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
