Spanish Letters and ALT codes

I was told there are Alt codes to add spanish letters and
symbols to word documents.

Does anyone know where a list of these may be found?????

Open Character Map: Start> Run> charmap
Select a font. Find the special character that you want. Click on it. The
keyboard combination to produce that character will be displayed in the
Character Map window. You can type that combination to produce the
character or use Character Map's Copy feature.

Correct.

Checked Google yet?
However, there's a better solution. Go to the Control Panel, to
Regional and Language Settings, Languages, Details, add
US-International, remove others since you won't need them anymore,
reboot, and you'll have access to international characters instantly.
To put accents over letters, type ' followed by the letter, say e, and
you'll have the letter é, for instance. Umlauts are created by typing
", followed by the letter, thus you can type Ä, Ë, �, Ö, Ü, and the
lower case versions of these. The German ß is created by holding down
the right-hand ALT key while typing an s. ¿ and ¡ by doing the same
(right ALT key) and ?, or !, respectively.
Hold down the right ALT key, and/or combine it with SHIFT, and see
what letters come out.

¡²³¤€¼½¾‘’¥×¹£÷ <---- numeric line, combined with ALT and/or SHIFT
äåé®þüúÃ*óö«»/ÄÅÉÞÜÚÃ�ÓÖ <---QWERTY, ditto
áßðø¶´�§�Ø°¨ <---ASDF
æ©ñµç¿Æ¢ÑÇ <--- \ZXCV

Any letters not in the list above, you're SOL and on your own ;)
It's actually rather intuitive, especially of you don't need the whole
set

I find it faster just to hold down the Alt key and use the numbers as follows (use number pad for numbers, not the numbers on top)



129 = ü

130 = é

132 = ä

148 = ö

161 = í

162 = ó

164 = ñ

165 = Ñ

168 = ¿

173 = ¡



another way is:



Keyboard shortcuts for international characters

Press

CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), the letter á, é, í, ó, ú, ý



CTRL+SHIFT+~ (TILDE), the letter ã, ñ, õ, Ã, Ñ, Õ



CTRL+SHIFT+: (COLON), the letter ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ, Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü, Y



ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+? ¿



ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+! ¡



CTRL+SHIFT+&, s ß



disfrutalo y que tenga un buen día, John
