Parabola (X) Local time: 13:02 English to Spanish
I am trying to figure out how best to include the accent symbol ar the line above the n in the Spanish text I am writing.. I ty to do it but all I get afterwards are huge spaces between the letters and cant get it to look normal.. is there a way to press certain keys that will do it automatically without resorting to "spell-check" .. I will much appreciate any help with this. it's really taking me forever to go back and edit all the tildes after I finish translating.. | | |

Maybe you could solve the problem changing the language of the configuration of your keyboard. I have it in spanish and then I get all the symbols and letters for both languages. Maybe someone knows better. | | |

You can do certain shortcuts, like macros that you can preset to make things easier. If you don't know how to do this in your word processor, use the alt key. Here's some of them: alt164 ñ alt165 Ñ alt160 á alt130 é alt161 í alt162 ó alt163 ú alt144 É alt168 ¿ alt173 ¡ alt129 ü | | |

Hello, Rather than re-type the information, I thought I would provide you with a link on how to create accents using the ALT + combinations. This was posted a while back. Here is the link: http://www.proz.com/post/29812#29812 I hope this helps! Russell | |

Another possibility (I currently use) ñ: [ ctrl ] + [ shift ] + [ ` ], then press [ n ] (say [ ctrl ] + [ ~ ] , then press [ n ]) for accents on vowel: [ ctrl ] + [ ’ ], the press [ vowel ] ü: [ ctrl ] + [ : ], the press [ u ] This way is no more necessary to change the language of the configuration of your keyboard. | | |
