how to insert stress marks in cyrillic mac for word 2011

Hello. I have a desktop mac (OS X 10.9.1), running mac for word 2011 and I work in Cyrllic fonts, primarily TImes New Roman and Cambria. I need to insert stress marks (acute accents) on Cyrillic vowels Я Ы У Ю И Э as well as A E O. None of the options I have seen on a google search help (holding down the e key, trying to find the Unicode range 000030 etc under the gear wheel in character viewer). Are there any other options available?

Thank you in advance!

mac os x, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

The quality of the result for this kind of thing depends a lot on the app and the font, so you may have to experiment. Word is usually the worst app.

Try TextEdit first, typing the Cyrillic and then double clicking on 0301 in Character Viewer after the base charcter: Я́ Ы́ У́ Ю́ И́ Э́ Á É Ó. Start with the font Lucida Grande and try others. Try copy/paste a good result into Word.

PS I fired up Word and tried this directly in it and those fonts seem to work OK for me:
