Default How do I remove diacritical marks?

when type Blase (a person's last name) the accent mark appears above the "e"
by default. Is there a way to turn this default off? The person's name is
not spelled with the accent and the person wants the default off on his
computer.
Ex. = Blasé
Work around - backspace the "e" and type "e" again = fine on my computer -
but not when the user tyes his own name many, many times on his computer
I have looked in AutoCorrect and in Word options.
By googling - it tells one how to add the marks - but not how to take them
off.

When the auto-correction occurs, immediately press Ctrl+Z to Undo it.

If you want to get rid of it completely, delete the corresponding entry in
the AutoCorrect dialog box.
