ARCHIVED: In Microsoft Word for Windows, how can I type foreign language characters?
In Microsoft Word, you can type some relatively common non-English
characters by using the keystroke sequences listed below. Each
sequence consists of a key combination to be pressed simultaneously
(e.g., Ctrl-Alt-'
), followed by a single character
to be pressed separately. For other ways to generate non-English
characters, see ARCHIVED: In Microsoft Word for Windows, how do I access foreign or special
characters?
Note: You can use the Character Map tool in Windows to insert foreign language and other special characters into your documents. See article 315684 in Microsoft Help and Support.
