I selected the Latin American version of Spanish. Any further suggestions?

On Latin American, you should see that the key next to P has acute and umlaut printed on it. To type á you just hit that key and then a. For other accents you need to use the option key plus the + , } , and { keys, then the base letter.

If you are using a Spanish hardware keyboard, you make accents by pressing the keys just to the right of Ñ and P, which have acute, umlaut, grave, and circumflex printed on them, and then the base letter. So á is ´ and then a.

(Only Windows uses Alt plus a number to make special characters.)

If your keyboard is called "Latin American" instead of "Spanish", let us know as things will differ a bit.
