In Windows, you can use the Character Map (charmap.exe) utility from the run line. In Linux you run Character Map from Applications>Accessories. Find the letter then copy and paste it. In most word processing programs, you have a few options:

  • Change the language of the document to the target language and accept the recommended change when the spell checking offers to replace unaccented words or
  • Use the key-stroke shortcuts if they are available. In Microsoft Word, for instance, you use "sticky keys"--to type an n with a tilde (ñ) you hold [Ctrl] type ~ then type n. (See the link for more details)
  • You could also switch keyboards and learn the new keyboard layout if you need to type a lot of accented words.

You can typically add accents to foreign words by using the character map tool on your computer, or by changing your keyboard settings to include the specific language's characters. Some word processing programs also have shortcuts for adding accents using key combinations.
