Adding Accents in your PC

Setting your PC for accents in Windows 2000 or ME:   

                        To set your PC to make accents:

                        Click on the Start button,

                        Select Settings
                        Select Control Panel 

                        Select Keyboard

                        Select Keyboard Properties

                        Click on Language

                    Click on "Add"

                        Select "English (United States)" then the layout description "United States - International"

                        Click  OK. 

                    Restart your computer


    In Windows based programs, you then just type the accent symbol you want followed by the
   upper or lower case letter you want to type.  For example, to make "ñ", type "~" followed by
   "n" and out comes the "ñ".  To use your quotation marks with this setting, you will need to press
   space bar after the quotation mark key.

Setting your PC for accents in Windows XP:   

For its latest version of Windows, Microsoft (in its infinite wisdom) decided to change the Control Panel so that the keyboard options are now in a different location than in previous versions. So here are the instructions for setting the keyboard layout to US-International in Windows XP:

  1. Go to Start => Control Panel => Regional and Language Settings.
  2. Click on the Languages tab.
  3. In the first section, Text services and input languages, click on the Details... button.
  4. Then in the section Installed Services, you will see a list of the already installed languages/keyboard layouts. For a standard American installation, this list will contain the language English (United States) and the keyboard layout US (which is selected by default). Click on the Add... button to open the Add Input Language dialog box.
  5. Select English from the first drop-down menu. Select United States-International from the second drop-down menu. Click OK.
  6. Notice that United States-International now appears in the list of installed keyboard layouts. Look at the section Default input language above. Select English (United States - United States-International from the drop-down menu. This layout will now be selected automatically every time Windows starts.
  7. Click OK to close the Text Services and Input Languages dialog box.
  8. Click OK to close the Regional and Language Settings dialog box.

Your keyboard layout is now configured for accents.
