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
 
You can use the Character Map that is included with all versions of Windows. Click On Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map.

Find the symbol you want to insert and Double Click on it. Now click on the copy button. This will copy the selection to the clipboard for you to paste into Outlook Express.

Most character has a Keyboard combination associated with them also. You can view this in the character map. For example è is Alt + 0232
