How to Make Accent Marks

In order to make accent marks, you must push the ALT key and punch in a number code for each accented character. You must have Num Lock ON. The number codes are listed below!  If you are ever unsure of what code to use, you can check by looking in the "character map" or  "keycaps" of your computer (usually found in "accessories"). It might be useful to print this page out qand keep it beside you computer or in your French notebook!
