One way to do it is by activating the number lock by pressing the (FN)key and the number lock button. After this, the number lock should be activated and then you may hold down the ALT key and type the numbers 0233(lower case é) and 0201 (upper case É).

Another way is to add an additional keyboard language to your computer. You may do this in the COntrol Pannel under Calendar, Clock, and Lanuage.

Hope it helps!

Step 2
Double click to open the Clock, Language, Region icon.

Step 3
In the new window that appears click the Change Keyboards button.

Step 4
Another new window will appear. Click the Add button.

Step 5
Click United States-International keyboard option.

Step 6
Click Ok

Step 7
Click the drop down Default Input Language menu and select United States International.

Step 8
You are now ready to type using an International Keyboard!

Its easier than alt key codes. You have to press lesser no of keys and of course its more natural. For ex - to type the letter é - type the apostrophe key ('), then e.

I have a little question for any native speakers out there. Recently I read on a website that it is "forbidden" to do liaison when there is inversion. Ex.:
Quote:
Etes-vous allé en ville?
Thus, according to those who claim this, you shouldn't link "vous" and "allé." I seem to have frequently heard this kind of liaison, however, and a native French speaker confirmed that she does pronounce it as a liaison. What gives?

Here is one: when is it appropriate to leave the 'ne' in 'ne... pas...' out?

MDR ! Je te remercie, surtout pour la vidéo ! Enfin je n'ai pas tout saisi de ce qu'ils ont dit... il faudra que je réécoute encore plusieurs fois. Quant aux deux liens, peut-être que je me trompe, mais il ne me semble pas qu'on y donne des exemples avec l'inversion. En tout cas le fait que toi tu prononces ainsi, ça suffit pour moi et me rassure que je ne fasse pas une faute à chaque fois que je formule une telle question.

Mainly in informal speech.
Ex.: Je ne comprends pas. => Je comprends pas. Or, as Alizée says , T'as pas deux cents francs? <= Tu n'as pas deux cents francs?
