trying to find the spanish "enhe" in my english keybord

Hi.

I wonder if it is clear what I am trying to do. The Spanish 'enhe' sound or letter is that one that is like an 'n' but with a small line like this "~" on top of it.

I search for help in the Help bar but I failed to find it. There were lots of options but not this one.

Any suggestion?

Gracias.

Hi

Andrew, I was just writing to say that what you suggested was not working when suddenly it works here , exactly as you point out "ñ".

But what is a paradox is that it does not work with the "Notepad" application. In there it does not work, it does "n" and "~" but there is no way of getting a "ñ" . I do not why.

Also I search the other options suggested by the other pal but nothing seemed appropriate for this application.

However just , right now, I found out that it does work with the Text edit application. It did not occur to me that it might not work in one application but however working in the other.

So , at least I have one of the options.

Gracias.

The Notepad is inside the folder 2006 World Book of Applications.

I normally do my letters with my laptop which has a Windows Xp and it is programed to work in Spanish, whereas my Mac is set up in English, as I bought it England while I was living there . Now I do not want to set it up in English as it helps me to keep my english fresh. However from time to time I find these limitations.

I found another thing I can not find neither in the keyboard, the stress above the vowel; for example I can find the ` for an " à ", but what I need is the same comma or colon but to the right. The comma to the left it is not well consider.

I found the ` pressing alt with ~, and then pressing the vowel again ;à .

However how to find the same with the comma or colon to the right? Any suggestions?

Cheers

I would recommend you not use this Notepad for anything. It seems to be defective. All Mac apps I have ever seen can do Spanish without problems.

Did you have a look at the chart I gave you the link for? Here is the line that tells you how to do this:

Option/alt-e = acute

So to make é you type Option/alt + e, then e.
