The easiest way on Windows systems to type accute accents: download the
Russian for Gringos homophonic keyboard. The acute accent is on the
forward slash ("/") key. You can download it for Windows 7 at:

A similar keyboard for earlier versions of Windows may be found on the
homophonic keyboard links at
http://www.public.asu.edu/~deliving/resources/index.html.
You put the cursor after the vowel you want accented, press the / key, and
that's it.
Nota bene: per Unicode you should type a non-spacing diacritic after the
vowel. However one of the fonts distributed with Windows 7, Courier New,
has implemented the accent incorrectly, and you have to type the accent
before the vowel.
