On my keyboard the accents are to the left of the backspace key. Several keys away from the p key.

Help! >Windy I believe that John Barnes, Carlos, and rmsommer were using Windows keyboard layouts other than the standard "United States" layout. I use the "US-International" layout as my default keyboard layout, and I have no problems with accented letters: To get this word I type this ---------------- ----------- pat� p a t ' e ma�ana m a ~ n a n a f�hrer f " u h r e r it's i t ' space s Additionally, on that same Windows layout (US-International), certain non-accent characters are available by using the AltGr key (which is the Alt key on the right if it is not explicitly labelled AltGr): To get this word I type this ---------------- ----------- stra�e s t r a AltGr+s e �ngstrom AltGr+W n g s t r o m encyclop�dia e n c y c l o p AltGr+z d i a (The above examples are not exhaustive, for either accents or non-accent foreign characters.) I have had no problems using these in Word; however, there is the possibility of a problem with the AltGr key, as it happens to be equivalent to Ctrl+Alt - so a Word command that is invoked with Ctrl+Alt+<some key> may get invoked instead if you use the AltGr key to get a non-English character. Different layouts, such as the French or Spanish layouts, will have different arrangements of accents and characters, so choose your layout based on your needs and comfort. The French layout, for example, conforms to the French standard AZERTY keyboard layout. >"rmsommer" wrote: > >> Hi Carlos.... >> >> How do I do the tilda? >> >> Ron >> >> "Carlos" wrote: >> >> > Thanks, John. >> > On behalf of the Spanish speaking community! >> > We love accents, and funny letters like "�" >> > Carlos >> > >> > "John Barnes" wrote: >> > >> > > hit the key to the right of the p key, the next letter key you hit will have >> > > the accent mark over it. � >> > > >> > > >> > > "rmsommer" <rmsommer(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> > > news:6996C4B9-18C7-416C-8135-175EEF5119DD(a)microsoft.com... >> > > > I've just installed spanish language keyboard.

From: Dominic Payer on 12 Jun 2010 03:13 Find Character Map in your Windows Accessories/Tools menu and note and remember the Alt+numeric sequence for the accented characters you need in the fonts you use. The numbers in the sequences must be entered on the right hand numeric keypad not the numeric keys above the keyboard letters.

This is not going to always be possible - for example, my Dell Inspiron laptop does not have a numeric keypad, not even via the special Fn key like my previous Toshiba did. I therefore cannot enter characters using the Alt-numeric codes. >On 10/06/2010 23:19, windyhil wrote: >> I'm using an old version of Word& the key next to the p key doesn't do >> anything for adding the accent mark over the e in pate.
