Hi Sonja
I don't have a quick way to do this but accents in french are mostly "é è Ã* "
so
you can goto Edit Find press and hold the Alt key and type on the numeric
keypad 0233 and replace type e ( Alt-0233 is é ) (Alt-0232 is è ) (Alt-0224
is
Ã* ) don't forget to type the proper letter in "Replace with"
