How to manually enter diacritics in OSX?

EndNote EndNote General
#1

I’m new to using a Mac, and I’m wondering what the easiest way is to manually enter diacritics on my US-keyboard machine (EN X4, OSX 10.7.3)

In Windows, I would have opened the character map and copied and pasted the appropriate characters (since I can’t be bothered to learn all the keyboard shortcuts for each character). In OSX, there doesn’t seem to be an analogous option, and I don’t see a way to do it from within EN. Thanks for any help.

There are a couple of ways to do this. In EndNote, you can go to the Edit menu and choose Special Characters (available only under certain Macintosh operating systems). The other option is to do this through the Mac Finder. In the Finder, go to the Edit menu and choose Special Characters.

Isn’t there a “Character Viewer” option for Mac?  Or as an alternative, generate the diacritics in MS Word then copy and paste into EndNote.

CrazyGecko, the Mac has a Character Palette. That is what comes up when you click the Edit menu from the Mac Finder and select Special Characters.
