@Lou Ann: Try setting your keyboard display to "Spanish (traditional sort)".

Thanks! That worked for the º and ª ... but now my accents are backward: àèìòù.... I used to hit the button next to the "p" for an accent that is the right way. Where do I click now?

The accent is next to the "ñ"; same key with "shift" types the diéresis (¨).
Shift + 1 = !
The key next to 0 is apostrophe (') and closing question mark (?)
Next key is opening exclamation mark (¡) and opening question mark (¿).

The keys on my keyboard are lettered in an English Layout, and in normal use EN appears at the bottom right of the screen. I have also installed Spanish, French and German via the Control Panel. By clicking onEN I can switch to ES, FR or D at any time to change language in the same document. It is also possible to customise some of your keys to print unusual characters.

Brute - did you know that you can toggle between your set languages using "Alt + Shift"....

The Spanish layout is this, and I have this keyboard. Is there any other way besides unicode to type these symbols?
All keyboards in computers should have this symbols(< and >). That's so strange...

But this is my keyboard, I have this < and >. http://www.usa-battery.net/images/DV2000-KEYBOARD.jpg

Do you have a Mac or a PC? Here are instructions for both:

Mac:
á Press Option + e, then type a
é Press Option + e, then type e
í Press Option + e, then type i
ó Press Option + e, then type o
ú Press Option + e, then type u

ñ Press Option + n, then type n
ü Press Option + u, then type u
¡ Press Option, then type 1
¿ Press Shift + Option, then type ?

PC:
(when typing the numbers use the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard)

á Press Alt + 160
é Press Alt + 130
í Press Alt + 161
ó Press Alt + 162
ú Press Alt + 163

ñ Press Alt + 164
ü Press Alt + 129
¡ Press Alt + 173
¿ Press Alt + 168

Hope that helps!
