How do you put an accent over a letter in lotus notes?

You can't directly put an accent over a letter in Lotus Notes using a keyboard shortcut like you might in other programs. However, there are a couple of ways to achieve this:

1. Using the Character Map:

* Open the Character Map: Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map (the location might vary slightly depending on your Windows version).

* Find the accented character: Search for the character you need by its name (e.g., "á" would be "Latin Small Letter A with Acute").

* Copy and Paste: Select the character, click Copy, and then paste it into your Lotus Notes document.

2. Using Unicode characters:

* Find the Unicode code: You can use a Unicode chart online to find the code for the character you need. For example, the Unicode code for "á" is U+00E1.

* Insert the character: In Lotus Notes, type the character code preceded by `Alt+x`. For example, to insert "á", you would type `Alt+x00E1` and then press Enter.

Important Notes:

* Font support: Make sure the font you are using in Lotus Notes supports the accented character you want to insert.

* Keyboard layout: The keyboard shortcuts for inserting Unicode characters may vary depending on your keyboard layout.

If you are working with a specific language that frequently uses accented characters, you might consider using a language-specific keyboard layout that provides direct shortcuts for these characters.
