Inserting Foreign Language Symbols

[debbyj]

Can someone please tell me how to insert French and Spanish foreign
language symbols in Microsoft 2008 for Mac? In the past I simply went
to "Insert" and then "Symbol" and found what I wanted there. In the
2008 version of Word, those same letters and symbols aren't there.

The best way: Drop down the flag control from the menu bar and open the
Character Viewer: you can search for characters by name and insert them in
any application from there.

On Word's Insert>Symbol menu, you have to change to a font that contains
the character, then have a good idea where the character is, which often
involves searching a very large list.

Cheers

I think you can use the standard Mac deadkey shortcuts, like é equals Alt + e, then e. Here is a list:
