Sometimes you need to "make" an accent mark in Word. It’s just that finding how to install it can be difficult. There are several ways to do this.
1)
Using insert special symbol.
Place the cursor after the letter to be emphasized.
In the top menu, select “Insert” -> “Symbol”. Select in Recruitment“united diac.marks” (2007, 2010 word) or “area of personal application” (for 2003) and look for the accent mark there. Click "Insert" and close.
It should work.
If it doesn’t work out the first time, then do it by analogy with the screenshot.
You can also manually in the field Sign code enter the number 0300 or 0301
2) Using character replacement.
It’s like a continuation of the first method, but the solution is slightly different.
So, place the cursor after the desired letter, and then type on the keyboard the numbers 0300 (for the left inclination of the accent) or 0301 (for the right)
After this, press the Alt button on the keyboard to the left of the spacebar, and then, without releasing it, press the X button (key combination Alt + X). It should work.
You can also use 0340 and 0341 respectively.
3) Using selection.
You can highlight (or you can also put after) the desired letter, and then, pressing and holding the Alt button on the number pad, dial +0769 (or just 769), release Alt. The accent should also appear.
If you use 0768 (or 768), then the accent will be placed with a different inclination.
If you are not particularly concerned about spelling (slanting or underlining), then you can use any method to place emphasis. If this is more or less important to you, then you can experiment and see that in some methods Word itself emphasizes the word as a syntactic error (since the letter is replaced with its code designation), but in other methods everything is fine. There are also nuances when in some fonts the display of a word will be incorrect.
You can also set up macros or AutoCorrect to make adding accent marks easier and faster.
