Unless I misunderstand you, you don't have to do anything special to
get the French accented characters. The Frencg department here is using
Word 3.01 with problems. To get the accented characters, do the following:

character with ^   option-i, then press the character you want accented
character with `   option-`, then press the character you want accented
character with '   option-e, then press the character you want accented
c with ,           option-c
a with o over it   option-a  (this isn't french)
character with "   option-u, then press the character you want accented

I don't believe there are any others needed for French, but I'm no
expert. Hope this helps.
