You can download it and read how to use it from the following URL: www.gwmicro.com/scripts/wordaccent This makes it very easy to insert accented characters. As for the document only mentioning JAWS, the best way to help is to educate the author. Unless they hear from the Window-Eyes users they have no incentive to address them.

For example, using this method with alt plus ยช161 would generate what Window-Eyes calls an upside-down exclamation point. Since I do not know the numbers of these characters, I can only play around until I find something. useful. If you have the proper code numbers, it is very simple. Take care when playing around, though, as some of these will play around with your project, such as backspace or inserting a control plus left arrow or linefeed or any number of other commands, instead of symbols.

I wish these Authors would realize that not everyone uses JAWS. If an Author doesn't wish or can't accommodate Window-Eyes or other program users, then they should indicate in their introductions that such a booklet is written for "JAWS users only." I may be putting my nose where it doesn't belong, but there are times when I need to insert special characters/symbols/accents into a document, and have to ask for sighted assistance. Any thoughts?
