Adding spanish accents, question marks, etc.
 
I was wondering, how do you do this without buying a spanish keyboard? I'm on a laptop, and I can't replace the keyboard. I know how to do the ñ, but that's it.

Thanks in advance.

En el recuadro donde escribes, arriba, tienes una casilla donde pone "Acentos" :)

press alt 160 alt 161, 162, etc simulateously to get the accent mark you need. Also on the forum, look up to the right of where you are entering info for all the accent marks you will need in Spanish.

If he has a laptop, surely he hasn't the numeric keyboard, so he won't be able to use alt.

You can also look for some text written in Spanish and copy - paste the accented vowels in a document, but it could be too slow when writing. :thinking:

Yeah.

But I have the num lock, and the number pad. It's just already on certain keys, like u,i,o,p, etc.

I just don't know the codes.

Of course, the num lock, I never use it, so I forgot it :duh:

There might be easier ones, but the ones I've memorized are

¿ - alt+0191
¡ - alt+0161 (inverted exclamation mark)
á - alt+0225
é - alt+0233
í - alt+0237
ó - alt+0243
ú - alt+0250
ñ - alt+0241

I can't do that either, I just use the accents dropdown box
