To get accents on the Mac, hold down the Option key, and while holding it down, type the letter e; then release those keys and type the letter that you want the accent to appear on:

• á = Opt + e, release, then hit a
• é = Opt + e, release, then hit e
• í = Opt + e, release, then hit i
• ó = Opt + e, release, then hit o
• ú = Opt + e, release, then hit u

If you're just looking for a one-time quick fix, copy this: é or è or ê

You can also use Alt + # to get various special characters.

A link to a list of Alt codes can be found in the links section.

Type Alt + 130 then let Alt go to get é.

Here is a partial list of Ctrl codes:

à, è, ù

[CTRL + ` (accent grave)] [the letter]

é

[CTRL + ' (apostrophe)] [the letter]

â, ê, î, ô, û

[CTRL + SHIFT + ^ (caret)] [the letter]

ä, ë, ï, ö, ü

[CTRL + SHIFT + : (colon)] [the letter]

œ, Œ

[CTRL + SHIFT + & (ampersand)] [o or O]

ç, Ç

[CTRL + , (comma)] [c or C]

If your word-processing program has a good foreign language dictionary, you can sometimes use spell-check to add accents.
