Default Symol in Find/Replace

There are three accented 'e's in French è, é, ê
These equate to ASCII characters 0232, 0233, 0234
In addition to the method suggested by Jay, you can address the characters
directly in the find and replace dialog by using the ASCII code for that
character eg to replace with é you could enter ^0233 in the box - see

I want to do a global find/replace to replace a normal "e" in certain
French words with an accented "e". I can do so manually using Insert

into the "Replace" section of the Find/Replace dialog box.
