There are two other ways to achieve this, so people have choices.  First, 
with JFW 5, (I can't remember if it started any earlier,) in any 
application, hit insert+4 and choose the character from a list.  Second, 
Word supports a method of input using what you might call 'dead keys.'  To 
use it, first hit the accent keystroke, then the letter to be 
accented.  Hence, Ctrl+tilde followed by n yields the n with tilde; 
ctrl+apostrophe plus a letter yields the Spanish accented letter; 
ctrl+grave plus letter yields the grave accented letter; ctrl+caret gives 
the letter a circumflex; ctrl+colon yields an umlaut; ctrl+comma followed 
by c gives the c with cedilla.

Hope this information is useful.
