put accents on stressed vowels

[Jules Levin]

Since sarcasm is not tolerated in email messages, and is not wise with 
colleagues, I will stifle my natural inclination and just say that I am 
astounded at how unnecessarily complicated you all have made the process 
of stressing vowels in Cyrillic.

Here is how I just did it in Microsoft 7, using whatever Word they sent 
me with it.

1.  Go to Symbols and look through the alphabets for the acute accented 
a, o, e, and y.They are under subset Latin-1 Supplement.For each, click 
on 'Shortcut key' and assign a very simple combo.I used a, o, e, and y + 
Alt.

2.  Under the Cyrillic character keys there are no acute accents with ? 
and ?,but when typing these, type each twice, or make a capitol.

3.  When you have finished your page, chapter or book.Use one of the 
complicated methods already suggested to create a stressed ? or ?.Then 
try a 'replace all', replacing your double or capitols with the correct 
stressed character.  If your 'replace all' doesn't work with diacritics, 
copy the correct stressed character you have made ONE TIME and using the 
Find mode with Insert, replace each double character with the correct 
stressed character with a Paste.Since you have already got the correct 
stressed a, o, e, and y with the simple Alt code you created, you are 
only doing it with ? and ?.But you can use the same Find and Replace 
method if you prefer, just by typing aa, ee, etc. when you want a 
stressed character eventually.
I learned these tricks preparing articles with extremely complex 
diacritics and unusual letters.
