Type French characters with buttons or shortcuts, then copy them into your document or e-mail.

Type faster with Ctrl shortcuts. For example: each press of Ctrl+A steps through à → â → æ. Point at a button to see its shortcut.

Using these characters

café · mère · cœur

é and è are different letters. Check the source spelling and keep accents on capitals. After pasting, check whether œ or oe was required and whether spaces were included with the guillemets « ».
