There is, but I can't remember. Another possibility exists if you are using MS Word. I have a UK keyboard, but can type all Spanish characters in a Word document using shortcut keys. For example, I type ñ when I press Ctrl + n. For accents, I type á if I type Ctrl + ' followed by a.

If these shortcuts are not already set up, they are easily programmed by the user.

Edit: If you click on 'insert' then 'symbol' the box of characters will give you the shortcut keys if already there.

If you go into your control panel, then "regional and language options", then the "keyboards and languages" tab, you can "add" a Spanish language keyboard. Then, while typing, you can toggle between keyboards using "alt+shift" on the left side of your keyboard.

Yes there's a way in the control panel, you go to Regional and languages options, later you go to the part where you can do the change of the language in the keyboard in Details, there you will can change the language of English to Spanish, if you want that.

I hope the explanation can help you, it's not so hard.
