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.
