How do you get a accent in Microsoft word?

To add accents in Microsoft Word, you can use the "Insert" tab and select "Symbol" to find accented characters. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts: for example, pressing Ctrl + ’ followed by the letter (like e for é) adds an acute accent. For other accents, you can also use the Alt key with numeric codes (e.g., Alt + 130 for é). Make sure to set your keyboard language to match the desired accents if you're typing frequently in another language.
