How do you add accent marks to text as you are writing. For instance...the word touche should have an "e" with the accent mark OVER it, not next to it. I know it can be done, but can't remember what the keystroke are.Que

I know if you press num lock on the number pads to the right of your keyboard you can then hold down alt , press different numbers on the same pad , release alt, and get different characters , hope this helps.

On my keyboard it is the one on the very right in the top row left from the return key, type it without shift and you get the é (type the "e" afterwards), and type it with shift and you get the è (works also with other letters such as "a"). Does it work? Was the question serious? Or do you have fun now? (Just curious!)

Several options depending on where you are typing and in what operating system etc... The most universal option is to use an International keyboard map. This requires a change to the keyboard setup in your control panel. Once that is done, you have certain "dead keys" on the keyboard. So, for instance, if I type apostrophe "e" it will give me a "é". The only thing I don't like about this method is dead keys take some getting used to (you'll find yourself having missing spaces because you have to press space twice to negate a dead key to make a plain apostrophe or tilde) but I've still come to the conclusion it is the better way. I believe there is a dvorak layout that overcomes the above problem just by fixing the layout but I havn't had the "stamina" or determination to learn a dvorak much as I'd like to... Other options include the charmap utility or use ALT codes if you know them. For example ALT 0133 gives the é. http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/library/endnote/images/ANSI%20codes.gif

The simplest ones on a Windows machine are the vowels with an acute accent - you just hold down Control and Alt as you press the letter you want - á é í ó ú For other accented letters the easiest way, if it is an occasional need, is to open Character Map - Start... All Programs... Accessories... System Tools... Character Map and select and copy the accented letter you want to use. If you need accented letters frequently you could make yourself a list of the Alt + numerical keypad combinations that are shown in Character Map.
