The following instructions will make sense after you have printed the French keyboard layout picture.

After you have set your keyboard to the French layout (see the the document "Setting up the French keyboard layout"):

• To get the apostrophe press simultaneously the SHIFT key with the key right of the letter M;
 
• To use the third character (see the French keyboard layout below) displayed on some of the keys, press the AltCar key on the right hand side of the spacebar simultaneously with the key you need;
 
• To put the "accent grave", press the key left of the Enter key and then press the vowel (don't press simultaneously)
à, è, ù, À, È, Ù;
• To put the "accent circonflexe", press the key right of the letter P key and then press the letter (don't press simultaneously)
â, ê, î, ô, û, Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û;
• To put "tréma", press simultaneously SHIFT and the second key to the right of the letter P and then press the vowel (don't press simultaneously)
ä, ë, ï, ü, Ä, Ë, Ï, Ü;
• To put the "cédille" under the letter C, press the second key to the right of the letter P and then press the letter C (don't press simultaneously)
ç, Ç;

**You get the accents on capital letters the same way as the lower case. You need, however, to press simultaneously the SHIFT key with the letter you need to have uppercase, as you would do in English...
