[ARCHIVED] Special Characters in Spanish

[mcoronel2]

How can I insert special characters (accents, upside down questions marks, the squiggly line on the "n", etc...) when I am typing information in Spanish on Canvas?  Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi Manuela. You can always add another language input keyboard onto your machine. I have done this several times with various Windows machines with success. I use it all the time to type in Spanish characters in any program I want to on my machine. Here is a link that shows how to add another input keyboard: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4496404#input_language 

Sólo hay que aprender dónde está todo cuando añade un nuevo idioma/teclado. It's quite easy to switch between the two keyboards too.
