I thought that the request was for a capital? However, it works either way
here, so there's something else amiss on this users system. But what...

You're probably not doing it right. Press Ctrl+~ or Ctrl+' and then
release.
These are the "setup keys." Then type the letter you want the accent over,
n
or N, e or E. It's a two-step process, and one of the mistakes many users
make is not releasing the Shift key (needed to type Ctrl+~, which is
Ctrl+Shift+`) before typing the following letter, so they always get
capitals instead of the desired lowercase.

Thanks for the tip, Jay. But I'm still having a bit of trouble. For
example
when I opened the symbol button and found what the keyboard shortcut was,
it
would never work. It only opened up some other unrelated dialog box.
CTRL+~,SHIFT,N for example never gave ma an n with a tilde over the top
of
it. CTRL+', E never gave me the accented e I sought. I developed a
workaround
by changing the shortcut key, but the whole process seems a lot more
tedious
than it ought to be.

How do I add an accented letter to a word in Word? For example, if I
want to
accent the "e" in resume (for a job) or put a tilde over the "n" in
senor
(Spanish).
