It works fine here. Make sure you've turned numlock on first.
But I do it differently. I use and recommend a little freeware
background program called AllChars. This lets me type many common
special characters (many of these are used in other languages) by
pressing the ctrl key followed by a two character mnemonic
combination.
For example, for ñ the two characters are ~ and n. For ç it's c and ,
For ü it's u and "
I find this much easier than trying to remember alt-numkey
combinations.
