Hi Jane, I'm appending the keyboard combinations you want to type Spanish accented letters with the Option key combinations.
Accented characters on the regular Mac keyboard For accents and more common special characters, using the Option key in combination with the Control, Command, and Shift keys give many of the necessary characters. If I need to type special characters as part of names, I'll use the Option key method to generate accents: acute accent - Option-e grave accent - Option-accent sign (on an English input keyboard, this is the leftmost key below escape and above tab) circumflex accent - Option-i diaeresis - Option-u tilde - Option-n This group are "dead keys". You need to type the accented letter after the Option+letter combination, so to type an "e" with an acute accent you press the Option+e keys, release, and then type the letter "e". If you press "Return" without typing a letter, you simply get the accent mark. For punctuation marks: inverted exclamation mark Option+1 inverted question mark Option+Shift+slash (Shift+/ is question mark) HTH.
