Spanish Accent Marks on the Computer

How to get Spanish Accent Marks on your PC



When you need to type in Spanish, there is an easy way to get accented letters. And you don't have to switch your entire system over to a Spanish keyboard. These "Alt" functions will allow you to use accented letters and other Spanish symbols on your keyboard. These shortcuts are particularly helpful when you are just starting to learn Spanish and can't perform at a fluent level yet.

To get these to work properly, make sure you hold down the "Alt" key the entire time you type in the numbers.
