International characters

[Guest]

Using Office 2003 and Windows XP;

Occasionally, I need to insert international characters into an Access
control, but the only way I know how to do this is to insert it in MS-Word
and then copy it.

Is there a better way? I can't find a symbol palette like MS-Word and
MS-Excel have...

Thanks for the help.

See the Windows Character Map program.

Start + All Programs + Accessories + System Tools + Character Map

For example, typing Alt + 0233 (using the number keypad) will insert
an é in your text.
