Hi all,
I have an imac and use Outlook365 web app for emails. I cannot seem to find a way to compose an english-language email (I;m in the US and it's my default) and insert accented vowels -- the pop up menu that follows the keystrokes does not give me choices.
anyone out there help me out? much appreciated :)
iMac 24″, macOS 14.6
hi again - the solution is to use the Option key ...it worked for me in word -- thanks again :)
But what if you want a different sort of accent, like a grave or umlaut? Don't worry – there are option key combos for those, too (and more).
If you activate the Character Viewer you can call up all kinds of accented letters, emoji & more.
Go to Settings > Keyboard > Text Input > Edit and select Show input menu in menu bar.
You should then get this icon in the upper right of your display:
When you click it, you should see this:
Select "Show emoji & symbols" and you will get the full Character Viewer. Select "Latin" in the left pane and then you can scroll through all letters A-Z plus special characters including accented letters. Select the one you want, copy & paste into your document.
Not your Mac. It’s likely not supported by MS - use local copy-paste to work around.
Great, thanks for updating 👌👍
thanks for prompt reply but it didnt work :(
I tried multiple times and followed instructions to the T. All I get is the original letter.
Try clearing all history? And another browser i.e. Chrome. If nothing works, copy-paste from a local text file using the above keyboard shortcuts.
I actually use Chrome and cleared the history, to no avail...I think the issue is my iMac.
thanks anyway.....
@MartinR - thank you sooo much! It was easy :)
