Thanks. Is there a way to get those accents on a U.S. standard keyboard? If I ever have to use a word with "funny accents" I'll Google the word and copy/paste.

Yes, you invade the country, and 'liberate' them.

Only kidding. Under XP, you'll find them here - All Programs/Accessories/System tools/Character Map:

I expect they are in a similar place under Vista & Win 7. There are keyboard shortcuts too, if you need them often (i.e. if you are a Mötorhead fan).

Thanks Andy. I don't use them often, but it would be great to have the right spelling and characters when it comes to certain words.

And whaddayaknow. There it is.

Simplest way under Win7 is to type Character Map in the search box at the bottom of the start menu and then select" Character Map"

This is SERIOUSLY off-topic for an SOW update thread btw
