The characters you mentioned are available in Character Map.
Alt + 3 keypad numbers inserts characters.

It should be under Accessories. Do a Search for Character Map and see where it resides on your system

Thanks Peter, found it.
Does that mean that I have to go to that file and select each one when I
need, like when you enter symbols in MSWord (if you do not know the short
cut) ?
Is there any other way of using the written access with the short cuts
established for MSWord in WL Mail Desktop ?

Hi, WK.

> When you say Alt + 3 inserts the characters,

Hold <Alt> while you key in the digits "133" on your numeric keypad and you
should see "à" (without the quotes, of course) appear at the cursor.
<Alt>+135 gets ç. Some character sets require 4 digits, starting with zero.
<Alt>+0241 makes ñ.

For the Character Map showing the whole chart, click All Programs |
Accessories | System Tools | Character Map. In addition to seeing the codes
to type, you can also Copy one or more characters directly from here into
your document. If you need this often, you can create a shortcut and/or put
it in your Quick Launch toolbar.
