Insert - Symbol should do it. There are keyboard shortcuts, too. Alt +
0232, for example, will give you è, an e with an accent grave. You need
to use the numeric keyboard to enter the digits, not the top row
numbers.

I am writing a verb table using excel and the language in use is mainly
portuguese. How do I insert accents where required withoutbthe symbols
that I
can use in Word?
