How would I type a word such as "melee" with the propper accent marks? Keep in mind I am not asking what the accent marks for the word "melee" are I would just like to know what key strokes I need to use.

go to the start button on your computer
go to programs
go to accessories
go to system tools
go to character map
use what the character map provides to add in what you need, like accent marks

There are some keyboard shot cuts. Vowels with acute accents - é - are made by pressing the 'alt' key at the same time as you press the letter key. € is made by pressing alt and 4. There may be others, I don't know. No doubt a French keyboard is configured differently in order to easily produce grave and circumflex accents without the need to use the character map as explained in another answer - so meleé!

I have also wondered this. I cannot believe a high-speed typist working in French would use a technique involving a mouse, menu selections or ALT+numbers on the numeric keypad.
I have asked a similar question myself regarding mathematical symbols. It is clear that a few people have a facility for typing them in Yahoo Answers, but the majority of regular answerers do not, and none of the techniques I have seen described could be considered good enough for use as standard. When I select the symbols from a menu, they come out as squares in the Answer box.

In Word use INSERT then click SYMBOL
