Spanish Accent Marks

You will need to learn how to insert accent marks in order to complete your homeworks and tests. This Word document provides you with the directions and a list of the codes you will need to write Spanish accent marks or punctuation. I strongly suggest that you print the codes out and keep them beside your computer. CODES ALT + 130 é 163 ú144 É 160 á 164 ñ 165 Ñ 161 í 168 ¿ 173 ¡ 162 ó How to create/insert an accent mark: •If you have a regular desktop PC, you will be using the number pad that is located on the far right side of your keyboard. First, always be sure that Number Lock is turned ON. •Each accented letter has a three digit code. •While holding down the ALT key, type in the three-digit code and then release the ALT key. •Your accented letter should then appear on your screen. •If you have a laptop, your number pad is located on top of other keys. You will have an extra step in creating an accent mark. You must always turn Number Lock ON first. •To do so simply hold down the Fn button (letters in green) and press the Num Lk (letters in green) button. •Each accented letter has a three digit code. •While holding down the ALT key, type in the three-digit code using the green numbers on you "number pad" and then release the ALT key. Your accented letter should then appear on your screen. • Finally you must turn Number Lock OFF. If you do not you will be typing numbers when pressing certain keys instead of letters. To turn it OFF simply hold down Fn and press Num Lk just as you did when you turned it on.
