Accents, Tildes, and Punctuation marks

For MS Word:

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

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

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

2.  To type an accent on a vowel: 

  Ex. CRTL + ' (apostrophe button), 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 an accented letter capitalized: Hold down CTRL + Apostrophe, then hold down SHIFT + the letter.  Ex. CTRL + ' , then release and hold SHIFT + E = É

 (Alternate method - this works for FLIP CAMERAS):

Desk top computers (*To use them in e-mail, PowerPoint, etc. when Insert/Symbol is not available:)
