How to Obtain Spanish Characters on a PC
in POWER POINT and Other Applications |
If
you are not working in WORD, you can obtain the Spanish characters
using the following keystrokes. These are the strokes
to use if you are working in Power Point or
Excel, for example, although they will work in any
application. Be sure that the "Number Lock"
function is on (sometimes a light will be lit when it is), and
also that you use the numeric keypad to type the numbers:
á |
[ALT
+ 0225] |
é |
[ALT
+ 0233] |
í |
[ALT
+ 0237] |
ó |
