how can I use spanish characters in my mail ( like accents, n with a dash on top)?

Answer 1

On a Mac, use the following: Option + e, a = á; Option + e, e = é; etc. Option + n, n = ñ. Option + Shift + ? = ¿. Option + ! = ¡.

In Word for Windows, use the following: Ctrl + ‘, a = á; Ctrl + ‘, e = é; etc. Ctrl + ~, n = ñ.

In WordPerfect for Windows, click on the Insert menu and select Character. Select the Multinational character set (or Typographic Symbols for ¿ and ¡) and click on the symbol you’re looking for.

On internet find "DIACRITICAL MARKS" there are hundreds of them intended for various uses including many languages. Hold ing down alt key while entering the number indicated via the ten-key pad will produce the incidated symbol.

¿This whole list is useful particularly when using several differen languages ? So Español is not the only one that is addressed here.

If you intend to write in Español only then change the keyboard, if not then the occassional use of diacritical symbols is useful.

I have little "crib sheet" cards pasted along the edge of my monitor that give the key codes for French, German and Spanish as well as Fº,±, §,£, ½,²,³,¼..........these codes are different for apple,lap-top, PC computers so choose the correct ones, if un certain experiment till you find what you're after.

Euro on notepad is alt +0128 but will not reproduce within yahoo. They will sell you a patch that allows it in yahoo but I refuse topay the dirty bastards ! If if need it that bad I type my message in notepad then send it as an attachment !
