= =  **Los acentos en la computadora** = =

When typing in Spanish, you must include accent marks as part of correct spelling at all times. You can always go to **__Insert__**, and then **__Symbol__** and then choose the letter you need. However, below are some shortcuts so that you can use accent marks as you continue to type. I. To use the following codes on a PC, press the NUMBER LOCK on the number pad on the right-hand side of your keyboard. Do __not__ use the numbers at the top of the keyboard. In order to get the symbol, PRESS and HOLD the "ALT" button, then type the appropriate code.
 * á ||  ALT + 160  ||
 * é ||  ALT + 130  ||
 * í ||  ALT + 161  ||
 * ó ||  ALT + 162  ||
 * ú ||  ALT + 163  ||
 * ñ ||  ALT + 164  ||
 * Ñ ||  ALT + 165  ||
 * ¿ ||  ALT + 168  ||
 * ¡ ||  ALT + 173  ||
 * ü ||  ALT + 129  ||
 * 1a ||  ALT + 166  ||

II. If you are using a MAC computer, the accent codes are as follows:


 * "option e" will put an accent on the next letter you type (á, é, í, ó, ú). ||
 * "option n" will put a tilde on the n (ñ). ||
 * "option u" will put an umlaut on the u (ü). ||
 * "option 1" will give you an upside down exclamation point (!). ||
 * "option, shift, ?" will give you an upside down question mark (¿). ||

As a very last resort, you can always hand-write the accent with a black pen…//just don't forget the accent marks!//
