How do I type the accent mark in "Cliché" on Pages?

Although I too favor the press and hold of the 'e' key for the selection of the acute (´) accent, one can also press and hold the option key, first typing 'e', releasing the option key, and then typing 'e' again.

You are welcome.

In case you haven't already seen it… Pages User Guide for Mac - Apple Support

In Pages on a Mac, hold down the e key when you type it and it will display a list of accents that you can choose from.

Thanks for the second option. Both are new and interesting features of Pages, which I use daily.

So much to learn... and loving all of it.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Not just Pages -- virtually anywhere you enter text on your Mac, including this forum "cliché", Microsoft Word, Text Edit, etc.
