Typing w/ accents and macrons

I'm wondering how I'm going to manage writing Latin exercises here when I need to be able to apply accents and macrons.  In the textbook they are applied directly above the vowel.  Were I to use ' or ^ they would follow.  I'm like to keep italics and bolds in reserve for normal use of them.  Hmmm....

Latin Study

Initial lessons in Latin are more challenging than I thought they would be! When I've studied other languages, we started w/ listening to conversations, then speaking them (mostly by rote), then speaking them more freely, then writing, THEN analysing!!!

Wheelock starts w/ analysis!!! Ugh! He assumes the adult beginner would prefer this. Not me! But I'm going to try anyway. I like it that our first verb to conjugate is Laudare! To praise! I can practice using this verb in prayer, praising Abba!

Laudo Te, Abba!!! ('haven't learned the "te" yet; just guessing!)
