Or, if that doesn't work for you, there is this.....



The following are suggestions for users with laptop computers:

Type as you normally would using your laptop computer. When you need to add a Spanish accent,

hold down your Shift key and press the NumLock key.
You should still be able to type normally on the keyboard.
Add the accent by holding down the Alt key and Fn (function) key and then use the secondary numeric keypad located in the center of your keyboard to type the numeric sequence code.
Once you are finished typing accents, you can toggle back to the regular keyboard configuration by pressing and holding down the Shift and pressing the NubLock.
Now you can resume typing.
Below are the numerical codes that correspond to the accented characters.
Alt + 0225 á
Alt + 0233 é
Alt + 0237 í
Alt + 0241 ñ
Alt + 0243 ó
Alt + 0250 ú
Alt + 0252 ü
Alt + 0191 ¿
Alt + 0161 ¡
Alt + 0193 Á
Alt + 0201 É
Alt + 0205 Í
Alt + 0209 Ñ
Alt + 0211 Ó
Alt + 0218 Ú
Alt + 0220 Ü
Note: On some laptops you may need to use the secondary numeric keypad that is located in the center of the keyboard when you type in the accent codes.

Answer 3

By using the ascii Extended Characters set right as you type along. Use the Alt key and hold it down as you type a set of 3 numbers (see list below) from the Numpad (numerical pad). On a laptop the numpad is built into the center of the keyboard. You'll notice numbers in a different color on some of the letter keys around the center of the keyboard. You activate the numpad usually with a function key (or the alternate function key that matches the color of the small numbers on the keys). Do remember to turn the alternate function off before typing regular characters again or you'll be typing some numbers instead of letters. á Alt-160 é Alt-130 í Alt-161 ó Alt-162 ú Alt-163 ñ Alt-164 Ñ Alt-165 ¿ Alt-168

Answer 4

I haven't figured out how to place the double dot (Umlau) on top of the letter "u" yet, but here's a simple way to do the Spanish upside down question mark, the tilde, and the acute accent on a pc laptop:

Upside down question mark: Shift + Control + Alt. Then press the question mark key.

Acute accent: Control + Apostrophe. Then press the vowel.

Tilde: Shift + Control + Windows flag key + Tilde key. Then press the letter ``n``.

For capitals, it`s the same procedure, but you have to press the Caps Lock key before you press the letter you want.

With practice, this becomes quite quick. No need to be pressing numeric keys on a keypad, which take too long to do. Very annoying.

Answer 6

"INTERESTING!"

I had no idea so many varieties of diacritical symbols were in existence ! I do know Mac differs from PC but I guess it is keyboard-specific.

The for sure way to find them for me was to use the entire 10 key pad with 3 digits then with 4 digits using the 0 for the first one---numerous repetitions occurred and every time a 7 was among them it shut down.

Answer 7

easy, press the " ' " button by your enter botton and the ctrl button at the same time, then press a vowel. but it doesnt work on the internet only on word pad , microsoft office etc. you can also make the backwards one the same way by pressing the " `" button on the left of the number 1 key instead.

Also on microsoft word click insert at the top menu and chose symbol.

There is also the ASCII code (when you press ctrl and 3 numbers.)
go to http://www.asciitable.com/
and scroll down to the extended table.

Answer 8

What operating System? If it is Windows XP, then do the following so that you have access to the Spanish letters and accents:
I recommend that you go to the "Contro Panel" on your PC and add the Spanish keyboard to your system. It's not difficult.

Go to "control Panel"
---> Regional and language options
-----> "languages" tab.
Press the "Details" button.
Press the "Add" button
select "Spanish (Mexico)
Press the "OK" button
Press the "Language Bar" button
check the "Show the language bar..." option
Press OK
Select the "Advanced" tab
Check the first option (extend support...)
Press OK
Press OK

Now you have the Spanish keyboard available to you.

In order to get to know which keys to select, you can look for the "on screen keyboard", which can be found this way:

go to the "Start" button
"All Programs"
"Accessories"
"Accessibility"

I hope this helps.

yu can also change the language yu type in. i dunno what kind of program yu use like windows, or have an apple or something. if yu wanna type in spanish so yu dont have to open the symbols thing then yu can tell me what yu use and i can try and tell ya <3 oh and to do that ctrl thing in microsoft word.. first press ctrl and the ` next to the 1 then let go and press any vowel and it will appear over it. (vowels can only have accents anyway :3) Important: [note that this accent mark (`) is not the spanish accent mark, its used in french and other languages... so if yu want the spanish accent (`) for vowels, go to the symbols or change the keyboard language :3] and if yu want a tilde(~) that goes over the n: first press ctrl and shift and the ~ all together then let go and press the n, and the tilde will be there :3 hope i helped <3
