copy and paste Jun 24, 2011

There are only two ways I know of: copy and paste from the line of source text, or make a little text file for yourself with the accented letters and any other characters that are not accessible to you, keep it handy on your desktop, and copy/paste from there. The first option is preferable to me.

Can you change your keyboard layout to "US International"?

Thanks everyone for your support Jun 25, 2011

Susan, eventually I got to your same solution, finding this very useful website:
http://italian.typeit.org/

Samuel, I have a windows system and yes It is already set to US International, I also managed to add Italian in the language list but somehow doesn't seem to work.
