Re: Typing Spanish characters
Another thing worth mentioning if you don't want to change back and forth between keyboard layouts is that you can use the option key. option+e then type a vowel and it puts an accent over it option+n and then type the n and it putes a tilde over it option+u and then type u and it puts a dialisis over it. option+shift+q? makes an inverted question mark option+1 makes an inverted exclamation mark. You might not like that voiceover still, even when localized in Spanish, does not read inverted questions and exclamations right. I changed this in the pronunciation dictionary so it says, pregunta invertida and exclamación invertida etc On Sep 17, 2009, at 2:21 AM, Simon Cavendish wrote: > > Dear Lindsay, > > In System Preference (which you will find in the dock) interact with > the scroll area and choose "language and text" button.

Re: Typing Spanish characters
Dear Lindsay, In System Preference (which you will find in the dock) interact with the scroll area and choose "language and text" button. There you will find a few tabs that will help you customise various features to do with foreign languages. One of the tabs is input tab where you check the keyboards you wish to use. once you have checked them, they will appear in a menu on your menu bar which you activate with control+f8. Then you arrow left a few times, and there you will find your button. The keyboard which is currently active is immediately spoken. press down arrow to open your menu and arrow down and vo+spacebar on the keyboard layout you want. You can also use keyboard shortcut keys to file through your enabled keyboards and stop at teh one you wish. Hope this helps.
