Sitting with my handy font charts in front of me, I find the following "special"
capital letters in the Chicago (bit-mapped) and Helvetica (LaserWriter) Fonts.

242                x     U with acute accent

244                x     U with grave accent

I don't know what dead key sequences are necessary to generate these characters,but in Word 3.0 you can enter command-option-Q followed by number followed by
return to enter an arbitrary character by number.

If the combination you need isn't listed above, the LaserWriter fonts also have
all the various accents as separate characters (96,171,172, and 246-255) so you
can build what you want using Word's overstriking capabilities.

I hope this is of some use to you.
