Accents, Tildes, and Punctuation marks (for MS Word)

In order to type insert these things when you type in Spanish, you must do the following:

        1.  To type the tilde (~) for the letter "n": 

            Ex. Hold down CRTL + SHIFT + ~ (the button at the top left with the ~), then release and hit n = ñ 

2.  To type an accent on a vowel: 

    Ex. CRTL + ' (the button to type an apostrophe), then release and hit the vowel = CRTL +  ' + e = é

         3.     To type the upside down question mark or exclamation point:

            Ex.   Hold down CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + ? or ! = ¿ or ¡

 *        If you need to make the accented letter capitalized:  Hold down CTRL + Apostrophe, then hold down SHIFT + the letter.  Ex.  CTRL + ' , then release and hold down SHIFT + E = É
