The document discusses three methods for typing accented characters on a PC: 1) Using an international keyboard which requires a simple control panel configuration; 2) Using ALT codes which require pressing ALT plus a 3-4 digit code, but only works with the numeric keypad, not laptop keyboards; 3) For laptops, choosing a different keyboard is best rather than struggling with ALT codes. Examples of ALT codes for various accented characters are then provided.

In my opinion the best way to type accents on a PC is with the international keyboard, which requires

a simple control panel configuration - there is no keyboard to purchase or software to download.



If you're really set against the international keyboard, you can type accented characters with ALT
codes, which use the ALT key and a 3 or 4 digit code. However, ALT codes only work with the numeric
keypad, NOT the row of numbers across the top of your keyboard. So they won't work on a laptop
unless you hit number lock to activate the number pad "built into" the right-side of your keyboard,
which is a big hassle because then the letters won't work. Bottom line, if you're on a laptop, choose a
different keyboard rather than messing around with ALT codes.

To type accents with ALT codes, hold down the ALT key, then on the numeric keypad type the three or
four digits listed here. When you release the ALT key, the character will appear.
