Codes for producing special characters
in Spanish
-
If you are using a desktop computer,
entering the following codes on your alpha-numeric keypad (the number pad
on the far right of the keyboard) will produce the indicated characters.
-
If you are using a laptop computer,
you should know that the alpha-numeric keypad is embedded in the letter
keyboard. You will need to active the numeric keypad by typing the
correct code (indicated in the user's manual which came with your laptop--different
brands use different codes), then type "Alt" and the number (note that
the letter keys which have numbers embedded in them have these numbers
printed on the side of the key). You will then need to deactivate
the numeric keypad to return to the letter keyboard to continue typing.
