Only an internal spell checker could accomplish this automatically and consistently. If you're working in an application with a spell checker, you could add the accented words to its dictionary. >If I need to add them manually, how can I locate them on the keyboard? >Not all of them are on the standard typing keyboard. This definitely makes sense. Insert+4 will open a dialogue of symbols you can insert; these include grave and acute accents, the Spanish N with tilde and other assorted symbols. However, the symbol must be selected either using the arrow keys or by typing the first letter. By contrast, Window-eyes had a Word Accent app where a hotkey could be assigned to each accent type, followed by the letter to be accented. This is much more efficient than navigating a list for every accented letter.
