Translating on a MAC-use of accents

My family recently purchased a MAC, I'm trying to figure out how to assign short cuts to my keys so I can type accented vowels. The program package that came with the computer includes Pages instead of Word.

I've worked on a PC for years, and I know that by going to insert/symbol I can get my accented vowels. Is there anything similar for MAC? No-one I know has been able to help me.

Does anyone know how to do this?

MacIntosh


- Option key + e, and then “letter to be accented”

Example: Option key + e, then “o” → ó/Ó

- Option key + n, and then “n” → ñ/Ñ

- Option key + u, and then “u” → ü/Ü

- Option key + 1 → ¡

- Option key + Shift + ? → ¿

- Shift + Option key + 2 →
