To display an accent over a letter such as french text you need to got to INSERT then SYMBOL...the SYMBOL dialogue box appears, next choose a font (not wingdings) scroll down the bar on the right hand side of the dialogue box about 3/4 and you will see letters with accents above them. Ensure your cursor is at the point where u want the accented text to be placed and simply click on INSERT. then close the SYMBOL dialogue box.
