Actually it would be easier to simply type è into the AutoCorrect table
using the key combination previously revealed ...

And repeat for the other 25 accented letters. This is marginally
preferable to typing the letters directly because the Control key is so
unergonomically placed. Word is eager to capture WordPerfect users, so
you can replace all the Word commands with WordPerfect commands;
wouldn't it be nice if you could switch the Control key and the Windows
key?
