Re: How to apply accents in Spanish using Spanish keyboard?

Even without a Spanish keyboard, the built-in keyboard shortcut is
Alt+Ctrl+!

Alt+0161 - on the numeric keypad. The character is in the unicode fonts
such
as TNR, Arial etc.
If you setup a Spanish keyboard as Klaus suggested earlier in the thread,
you can type it directly.

Hi,

If you are using WinXP, there's a visual keyboard in "Start >
Programs > Accessories > Accessibility".
For older OS, you can download something similar from the Microsoft
web site.

Switching keyboard layouts isn't a good way to handle this though,
IMO.
The reason: It'll likely mess up all your punctuation and other
special characters.

It'd make more sense to either use the "International" keyboard
layout in Windows (the same way you added the Spanish keyboard
layout) and remember the shortcut keys for the spanish characters
that are already predefined there (and work in all Windows
programs), or define your own shortcuts in Word (say, select ¡, ¿, ñ
or whatever you need, then open "Insert > Symbol" and create your
own shortcut).

Greetings,
Klaus
