WINDOWS SPANISH CHARACTERS AND ACCENT MARKS ON AN ENGLISH KEYBOARD
When using Windows you MUST use the numeric keypad (to the right of the keyboard) to type these special characters.
| á | Hold down ALT | and type | 160 or | 0225 | | é | Hold down ALT | and type | 130 or | 0233 | | í | Hold down ALT | and type | 161 or | 0237 | | ó | Hold down ALT | and type | 162 or | 0243 | | ú | Hold down ALT | and type | 163 or | 0250 | | Á | Hold down ALT | and type | 0193 | | | É | Hold down ALT | and type | 0201 | | | Í | Hold down ALT | and type | 0205 | | | Ó | Hold down ALT | and type | 0211 | | | Ú | Hold down ALT | and type | 0218 | | | ü | Hold down ALT | and type | 129 or | 0252 | | Ü | Hold down ALT | and type | 154 or | 0220 | | ñ | Hold down ALT | and type | 164 or | 0241 | | Ñ | Hold down ALT | and type | 165 or | 0209 | | ¿ | Hold down ALT | and type | 168 or | 0191 | | ¡ | Hold down ALT | and type | 173 or | 0161 | | ¼ | Hold down ALT | and type | 172 | | | ½ | Hold down ALT | and type | 171 | | | º | Hold down ALT | and type | 167 | |
Programming Spanish Characters and Spanish Accent Marks on Word It is also possible to program Microsoft Word to use a key such as the ALT with the letter or symbol to do the same thing. Go to the Insert menu and select Symbol, highlight the symbol that you want to program, such as Á (capital A with accent). Then select the Shortcut Key and "press new shortcut key". The "current keys" will tell you what the current shortcut is to that key. Since I use very few shortcuts on my keyboard, I have assigned ALT + n to give me ñ and ATL + o to give me ó (accented o) etc.
You will still need the above codes because this programming only works in Word, of course, you can always create your documents in Word and then cut and paste them into e-mail and other types of documents. Suppress the Red and Green Underline in Word If you are using MS Word and the wavy underlines check spelling (red underline) and check grammar ( green underline) clutter your document, while you are typing in Spanish, you can temporarily hide them as follows: - On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
- Select the Hide spelling errors in this document and Hide grammatical errors in this document check boxes.
