| Guest | using the tilde with n like in spanish I am using a notebook with vista and I cannot get the tilde over the n to make the spanish letter. On other computers in the past I was able to type ALT+164 and it would do it, but that is no working. I don't know if this is a notebook issue or a vista issue. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! |

Make sure the font you are using has the " ñ " in it. -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit | ||||||||||||

On a laptop you first need to use Num Lock to put the keys into number mode. Then the ALT 164 will work. At least that's how my laptop works. Note that this only applies to the embedded "numeric keypad" of JKL, UIO and 789. | ||||||||||||

row of keys. Laptops generally have a numeric keypad superimposed on the normal keypad, and you toggle the keyboard by hitting Fn+Numeric (or something like that). You might be better off bringing up the Character map (All Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Character Map - I'm at an XP computer, so I may a bit off on the location), find the ñ character there, and copy and paste. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@xxxxxx http://members.cox.net/slatteryt | ||||||||||||

If you do not want to use a keymap that is different to the keyboard you have, you could try adding ñ to the keymap that you are currently using by customising it. I'd suggest adding it to AltGr + N. Try using this to do it: http://webpages.charter.net:80/krumsick/ Tell me if this works in Vista, as I have not tried it. ss. | ||||||||||||

layout keyboards, hold down AltGr and press the key with ~ on it, next press n. Btw, this works with any letter you like to have a tilde on. Charlie42 | ||||||||||||

completely different place on UK ones. They have L shaped Return keys, and the \ key is inbetween SHIFT and Z. That might have something to do with it, but I have never noticed that behaviour on any UK keyboards that I have used. You can get accented vowels, when using the AltGr key though. Mac keyboards have got an elegant way to get accents while pressing the Option key. ss. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
