look on the net I think there some things like dunno CTRL + e or something like that where you can do accents without changing the language... but i am not sure
Mostly it depends on whether you've got a Mac or a Windows machine. For Windows you can use the number codes (which gets to be a real pain!). And if you have a Mac I could tell you those codes if you need them. Good luck!
