How to type pinyin (pīnyīn) with tone markings
There is apparently a tool called Wenlin that let's you type pinyin with tone markings (for example, hǎo). But the easiest way I've found to do it (in small doses) is to copy and paste. I personally have a Word document call "pinyin tones" and that's all that's in it. Click here if you want to see all the pinyin tones so you can copy and paste them.
Otherwise, if you have to do a whole lot of typing pinyin I suggest using this tool by Mark Swofford. It will take "hao3" and convert it to "hǎo". The only bad thing about it is it doesn't remember your line breaks--but I've learned to cope. The settings I use are:
add HTML coding for Web pages? no
output style: code soup
tag style: no <span> tags
If you're looking for something more than that, I suggest checking out Mark's post about Wenlin.

The "U.S. Extended" keyboard input allows you to enter in all the necessary accents for pinyin by simply holding down the option key when hitting certain vowel keys.
This is most likely only of any help if you are a Mac user, but may actually work for windows users too, if you are able to find that input method included in your system.
