Sorry, I went through all the steps again and don’t think I missed anything. If you have the EN and Keyboard icons on your toolbar, then click on the keyboard icon and the two (or more) options should be

English (United States)
United States-International

Make sure US International is clicked, if not just click on it to choose that keyboard option. If it’s still not working, not sure what else can be done.

I think I have done all you have listed and nothing works like you said. I am using XP. When I type the ‘ and letter all I get the the apostrophe and the letter. The right alt key has no effect either. ???

What I have found is using the ascii code (alt and the #) works.

á Á é É ñ Ñ Pretty sure it works with caps on also. It’s done the same way. Press the ‘ then shift-A and you have Á.

Thanks for showing how to type the special Spanish characters by installing the international keyboard.

Question: Since all of your examples of creating an accent mark over a letter use lower case letters, I’m wondering how to create an accent mark over an upper case letter.

Gracias!
