2.  Accented Letters

Method 1 - Copy and Paste

• Refer to the Table of ASCII Codes in the right-hand column
• Double-click on the letter required and press Ctrl-C (to Copy the letter)
• Click where you require the letter and press Ctrl-V (to Paste the letter into your document, form etc.)

You can use this method in any program or form or search box on an Internet page.

Method 2 -  Use of ASCII codes

• Refer to the Table of ASCII Codes in the right-hand column
• Identify the letter you require and note the code number next to it
• Place the cursor where you require the letter
• Hold down ALT
• Enter the code on your numeric keypad (See note 2)
• Let go ALT

Notes:

1. This method works in almost any program except Microsoft Word!
   (Word has dedicated keystrokes for accented letters - see Word's help pages for details).
2. The numeric keypad is the group of keys to the right of the main keys. On Notebook computers the numeric keypad is usually found within the main keys - usually marked with small coloured numbers and used in conjunction with a matching coloured "Fn" (Function) key.
3. If you use this method a lot you may wish to print the list of codes

3.  Pages Jaunes tips...

Avoid the English version - it's slower and not so good (IMHO).

Pages Jaunes is excellent for aerial photos of France

Broadband recommended - high resolution images.
The quality of Pages Jaunes aerial photos is often better than Google Maps but Pages Jaunes is not so easy to use. Here's how I do it...

• Select Pages Jaunes from the left menu on this search page
• In the Quoi? box enter restaurant (there's bound to be at least one!)
• In the Où? box enter the name of the nearest town or city.
• Hit the Rechercher button
• Click on Vue aérienne on one of the listed results
• Select Zoom level from the menu on the right
• Click and drag the photo to your area of interest 

NB.  You can email this view to a friend (select Envoyer à un ami) but remember, your friend will be sent the co-ordinates of your starting point!  Don't wander too far away - find a better starting point first!
