How to Type Letter s with Accent in Word (With Alt Code and Shortcut) - Software Accountant (2024)

In today’s article you’ll learn several methods you can use to type or insert the letter s with accent marks in MS Word using either the keyboard or mouse navigation.

Please, the method discussed here can be used to type most of the s accented characters anywhere on your Windows PC. Some of the alt codes, however, works only in MS Word. Thus, If you need this character somewhere else other than Microsoft Word, then I recommend you to, first of all, type it in Word and then copy and paste it to wherever you need it.

With that being said, let’s get started.

Quick Quid to get the Letter S with Accent

As soon as you release the alt key, the s with accent mark will appear exactly where your insertion point is.
