INSTRUCTIONS FOR INCLUDING ACCENT MARKS

Standard Microsoft Word software has Spanish spelling and grammar check. In order to change the language, follow these steps:

Spanish Traditional Sort
This tool can help you when you word process in Spanish but you should always be conscious of spelling and grammar as you will not always be able to word process your writing in Spanish, especialmente en el Examen AP!

For Accents and other Spanish Writing Points:
When in doubt you can always use “Insert Symbol”, which can be long and tedious. Many of you are probably aware of the way you can add accents with the number codes (which I never learned and find cumbersome also…) So here’s my way that has become second nature after practice: Note: If I wrote the command in [BRAQUETS] this means to hold the keys down simultaneously.
For an áccént on vowels:
[CTRL + APPOSTROPHY], then your letter.
For an accent on a CÁPÍTÁL vowel, it’s the same:
[CTRL + APPOSTROPHY], but then [SHIFT + the Letter].
For an upside down question mark (¿) or exclamation point (¡):
[CTRL + SHIFT + ALT], then [SHIFT + ? or SHIFT + !]
For ñ or Ñ:
[CTRL + SHIFT + ~], than n or N
For ü (dieresis or the two dots):
I do insert symbol. (Many times spell-check will auto-correct this for you.)
