put accents on stressed vowels

[Emily Saunders]

On my Mac the only way I've found to do it, is to use the application  
NeoOffice, type using a font that doesn't have a CY after it, and then  
use the drop down character palette to insert special characters (I  
have the accent mark and two dots saved as "favorites").  I have yet  
to figure out how to get accent marks to work in any Microsoft  
application (I have a colleague who uses colors and caps to mark  
accent in Power Point presentations to students).  Also to make sure  
others can see them in the files I send out, I frequently have to  
export to pdf to be sure that the accent marks are readable on the  
other end.

Once upon a time in a previous operating system and with a set of  
really nice Russian fonts I was able to add in accent marks with a  
simple command+` right after I'd typed the letter I wanted accented.   
In many ways I kind of miss those days!  Of course I was doing it on a  
computer with only dial-up internet access, so...
