the keys. To enter these characters, do one of the following:

Option Lock is on, the symbol appears in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Entering other symbols and accented characters

alternate characters because they are entered using the Alt key.

example, to enter an É, press E.
2. Press Alt .
3. Press Up , Down , Left , or Right to highlight the desired character.
