    I'm learning Spanish, too. The easiest thing for me has been to type "character map" in the Microsoft Windows search box. A window pops up showing all kinds of special characters. Find the character you need and then copy and paste into your document.

    If you're using Microsoft Word, you can also just insert the special character from the menu.

      OOPT

    Using your numeric keypad (to the right of your keyboard):

    ALT 160 = á
    ALT 161 = í
    ALT 162 = ó
    ALT 163 = ú
    ALT 164 = ñ
    ALT 165 = Ñ
    ALT 166 = ª
    ALT 167 = º
    ALT 168 = ¿
    ALT 173 = ¡

     

    Add Spanish among other languages you use (the small panel below where you choose between English and Chinese). I use the Mexican keyboard and typing special signs is easy. For the accent you have to press [ + the vowel, for the ñ it's the key on the right from L. For the ¿ it's the key =, for the ¡ the same key with SHIFT. the only thing I don{t like about it is that all the punctuation signs are situated somewhere else, so you have to get used to their new position.

    If you have your Windows ® operating system language set to English, you can enter accented letters and special symbols Castilian language through the keypad adjacent to its main keyboard. All you have to do is hold down the "ALT" while entering one of the following sequence on the keypad
    - ñ: Alt + 164 en el teclado numérico
    - Ñ: Alt + 165
    - ¡: Alt + 173
    - ¿: Alt + 168
    - ü: Alt + 129
    - Ü: Alt + 154
    - Á = Alt +0193
    - á = Alt +0225¨
    - É = Alt +0201
    - é = Alt +0233
    - Í = Alt +0205
    - í = Alt + 0237
    - Ó = Alt +0211
    - ó = Alt + 0243

    Yo espero que esto pueda ayudarte.
