It doesn't really depends on Word, but on what flavour of Windows you're using, with what kind of keyboard. If you're using the basic US keyboard, setting up accented characters is possible, but a pain as you have to do every single character by hand. You can change your keyboard to something that'll give you pre-set shortcuts, though.
Depending on what Windows you're using, I may be able to help you set that up.
