Have you figured out how to type accented characters (e,a,o,u,i) while writing messages on Entourage? How about auto matic language recognition? Too often these days I'm missing my old PC...

  the option key is your friend
  
  you can search the web for a detailed list, but for:
  é = option+e followed by e
  á = option+e followed by a
  
  try using the option key to test with different keys. otherwise search google.

  I don't have much experience with MS Word and Entourage -- I ended up not using them at all (though I know plenty of people who really need them). I'm afraid I don't have any real solutions to offer; my experience with special characters has also been frustrating, but from a different point of view. For me, Word's special characters creep into our publishing system and sometimes wreak havoc on our web pages or RSS feeds.
  
  There is a setting in the Mac OS X system preferences to change the language -- I wonder if setting that would make a more permanent change to the language settings in MS programs?
