Outlook Express - Symbols

[mtcc]

How do you insert a symbol in outlook express.
For example, in Word, if you want to insert an "e" with
an accent over it, you go to Insert, Symbol.
How do you get a letter with an accent in Outlook Express?

Thanks

goto Start --> Run, type 'charmap' and ENTER. Select and copy any character
you want and then you can copy it in ANY application of your choice. Hope
this helps

Thanks Paras.
Is there a way to change the keystroke shortcut?

There are many ways to do this. I use a little freeware
background program called AllChars. This lets me (in all
applications, not just OE) type many common special characters
(many of these are used in other languages) by pressing the ctrl
key followed by a two character mnemonic combination.

For example, for ñ the two characters are ~ and n. For ç it's c
and , For ü it's u and "
