Took me ages to find some of these tips.

And these accents, of course.

Grave > CTRL+\  (top left key) > then type letter.

Acute > CTRL+'  > then type letter.

I don't know about MS Word but it is much easier in Open Office, just go to "insert"/"special character" and it will display all the characters available in the font you are using. Click on the one you want and it will insert it.
