how do u use the stress mark (`) on the computer?

Question

so when i write in spanish, i can use it.

Answer 1

You need to use "alt-codes" using the "alt" key and the numeric keypad, if you want to type Spanish language characters with accent marks while using a standard American English keyboard.

Make sure your "numlock" light is on before you begin this example:

I took German, so I'll use an example from German. The word in German for "street" is "Straße" which has the special character "ß", which is not on an American English keyboard.

To make an "ß", I typed it by holding down the "alt" key continously while typing 0, 2, 2, and 3 on the numeric keypad. I believe that you MUST use the numeric keypad, rather than the "standard" numbers below the function keys to make this work.

Naturally, there are special alt-codes for Spanish characters too. La Niña means "The Girl", yes?

See the attached reference webpage. It has further instructions and a table of all the special characters you may need to type in Spanish.

Answer 2

You need to set your keyboard to spanish look in your control panel for your keyboard and click on the language tab

Answer 3

It's to the left of the 1, above the tab key.

Answer 4

Probably the same way you used it in the question.

Answer 5

You need to set your keyboard to "Mexican™."
