Have Word 2002 on a network - Server W 2003 stations W2000.
Any ideas how to write docs in french - with the correct sysbols and
accents.

1. Word has a number of keyboard shortcuts for entering accented characters.
Look them up in Help.

2. Use Word's Insert>Symbol feature, or Windows' Character Map utility

3. Type the numeric code of the character you desire on the number pad thus
e.g. ALT+0140= O

4. Set up an International keyboard layout (which works in all
applications):
