That depends a great deal upon your operating system and application.

There still seem to be very few systems which deal properly with Unicode
non-spacing marks.   Certainly, despite good support for the
general Unicode repertoire,  Windows and general Windows applications
don't support them at all.  My Linux box does better, but it's
still intermittent.

However, there are, as John said, quite a number of Unicode symbols
which are precomposed sequences including an acute accent.  You can
enter all of these via the Insert->Symbol dialog in Microsoft Word,
where you can also assign them to a shortcut key if you need them
frequently:

0106    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE
0107    LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE
0139    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH ACUTE
013A    LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH ACUTE
0143    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH ACUTE
0144    LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH ACUTE
0154    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH ACUTE
0155    LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH ACUTE
015A    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH ACUTE
015B    LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH ACUTE
0179    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH ACUTE
017A    LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH ACUTE
01F4    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH ACUTE
01F5    LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH ACUTE
1E30    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K WITH ACUTE
1E31    LATIN SMALL LETTER K WITH ACUTE
1E3E    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M WITH ACUTE
1E3F    LATIN SMALL LETTER M WITH ACUTE
1E54    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P WITH ACUTE
1E55    LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH ACUTE
1E82    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W WITH ACUTE
1E83    LATIN SMALL LETTER W WITH ACUTE
