HI JMAO
Just to add to Kevin's reply, you can enter the characters direct by
pressing ALT+0 and the number eg: alt+0233 for é, alt+0232 for è
don't use the numbers above the letters use the num.. keypad.

PS.. you can use that with Word and most software.

How does one apply letters with accents (e.g. grave - è, accute - é, etc.)
in
MS Excel using shortcuts, like Ctrl+` e, as in MS Word (and not having to
search through Symbol everytime)?
