Accents (acentos) in Microsoft Office Word 2007

[Efraín Morales]

Microsoft Office Word 2007 Spanish Accents:

All persons and secretaries typing documents in spanish should use the
following settings for the accents (acentos) on the vocals á,é í ó,ú, and ñ,
both in small and capital letters. The info on how to do it is hidden inside
Word. Look for it and you will be amazed at what you were missing. Please
read the instructions I prepered both in english and spanish.
=====================================================
How to add Spanish Accents in Microsoft Word 2007

1.Click the logo at top left and select Word Options at bottom row.
2.Select Customize twice, first on the list at the left side, and then in
the next page at the bottom.
3.In Categories scroll and select Common Symbols at the very end.
4.Under Common Symbols, scroll and select the vocal with the accent that you
want (either capital or small characters).
5.Press the new shortcut key and type your own way for the vocals with
accent ( I recommend you use Alt + a vocal for all cases with small
characters and Alt + Shift + a vocal for all cases with large characters ).
6.Click the Assign for each addition.

You don't actually need to assign keys to accent letters when typing in
Spanish, French, etc., using Word. To type an accented letter, press
Ctrl+accent followed by the letter you want accented. For example, to type
á, press Ctrl ' followed by a. To type ñ, press Ctrl+Shift+~ (shift is
needed since ~ is a shifted `), followed by the n. For è, press Ctrl+`
followed by e, etc

Acute accents are available directly from UK keyboards (AltGr+vowel) but,
interestingly, not from Spanish ones; Spanish keyboards do, however, have an
Ñ key.

Given any Dell laptop with a fresh copy of Microsoft Office Word 2007
installed, the easiest, logical and simplest way of writting the spanish
accents is following Microsoft instructions. These Word 2007 settings are a
bit difficult to understand and follow, so I recommend you print my
instructions. When completed you will need less key strokes for the accents
and all the vocals will be done using the Alternate key, which will be the
easiest to remember (you just need to remember that the vocal with accent is
the Alt vocal ).
