Sra I read your post, and yeah I really do not know how to make the accent marks. I have a PC Windows. Can you please provide a chart for me, thanks
You may also want to consider adding a keyboard language to which you can switch when you type in French texts. See for example:

It is also possible to use unicodes to display accented characters, such as:
"& e a c u t e ;" or "& # 1 3 0 ;" for é etc. Do not enter the double quotes nor the spaces between the double quotes.
Note that if the code 130 is used, it will be displayed if the browser is using the "Western-8859-1" encoding. Otherwise (but rarely) it would display as a weird character. The eacute version is valid for all encodings.
There are probably many tables around, but here's one that contains all the required characters.

thanks so much
You're welcome!
I hope Mme Sra is not too unhappy at my rudely stealing a post addressed to her!
Of course! I can help you out with that. To type accent marks on a PC Windows, you can use keyboard shortcuts or the Character Map tool. Here's a chart that shows some common accent marks and their corresponding keyboard shortcuts:
- á: Press and hold the Right Alt key, then type the letter "a".
- é: Press and hold the Right Alt key, then type the letter "e".
- í: Press and hold the Right Alt key, then type the letter "i".
- ó: Press and hold the Right Alt key, then type the letter "o".
- ú: Press and hold the Right Alt key, then type the letter "u".
- ñ: Press and hold the Right Alt key, then type the letter "n", release both keys, and then type the tilde (~) key.
To type uppercase letters with accent marks, simply use the Left Shift key along with the Right Alt key and the corresponding letter.
Alternatively, you can also use the Character Map tool. Here's how to access it:
1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type "Character Map".
2. Click on the "Character Map" app or press Enter to open it.
3. In the Character Map window, select the desired accent mark.
4. Click on the "Select" button to add the character to the "Characters to copy" field.
5. Once you've added all the characters you need, click on the "Copy" button.
6. Open the application where you want to insert the accent mark (e.g., Word, Notepad) and paste the copied character using Ctrl + V.
I hope this helps you type accent marks on your PC Windows!
