In case anyone else runs into the same problem I did… I set up my keyboard to use the US International keyboard, as Ramses suggests, and it all worked as he said, EXCEPT the ñ. When I pressed ctrl + alt + n, it kept just switching to draft view (in Word). So I had to go in and erase the existing keyboard shortcut for “normal view”. Once I did that, I could get the ñ.

This is an incredibly useful article. It’s been such a pain when I want to write something in Spanish and have to go through the painstaking practice of manually putting in the proper characters.

Thanks!

@Kelsey: On a typical US keyboard you would hit shift and the equal sign to get the upside exclamation. This is the same key that produces the upside down question mark when unshifted.

Thanks for the guide. I had no idea that it was that simple, or that I could even do the accents, etc. without using those annoying alt combinations. Do you know if there’s any way to write the upside down exclamation mark?
