Spanish characters

For the accent in Spanish, type option + e, then type the character you want to have accented (like e or i) to get é or í. For this character ˜, type option + n and then type an n to get ñ.

Special Characters

I am always using the spanish and french accents. I have printed out an ASCII chart for both Mac and PC. This site should help: http://ascii-table.com/ascii-extended-pc-list.php

alt+ special characters

Actually the whole list ican important, especially if you use several languages. I cut and pasted a chart off the web (search for ANSI chart), edited its format to my liking, printed it out, highlighted the characters I used a lot, cropped and taped it to my desk under my mouse pad. Soon you'll have memorized M and N dashes and the like.

Add these...

the degree, the minute mark, and the seconds mark. Also I frequently use the spanish and french accents. The glyph pallet in InDesign is your friend...

Spanish Keyboard.

I´m living in Spain and using a Mac Keyboard for Spanish language, some of the shortcuts or key combination for special characters do not work in this keyboard.

Can you help me find shortcuts and key combinations for the Spanish keyboards?
