How does one change to Spanish pronunciation and back to English? The tilde, etc. Can it be done easily? In Windows XP? What keys give the different punctuation?
You can also change your keyboard format to "United States - International." This allows you to type "'a" to produce "á," ""a" to produce "ä," etc. If you want to type "'" or """ by itself, you have to type a space after it.
To change your keyboard, you have to show the Language Bar. Right-click the taskbar, click "Toolbars," click "Language Bar." Click the little down arrow on the language bar, select settings. Click "Add," check the keyboard layout/MIME box, select "United States - International," click "OK" and "OK" again.
The language bar should now display a little keyboard icon. Click that and select the keyboard format you want to use.
The International keyboard takes a little getting used to, but you don't have to remember all the codes for the characters.
Thank you. I'll try these.
