Answer 3

Some typewriter keyboards have accent keys that are "dead" keys, i.e. the carriage doesn't move when you type so that the next letter is typed under the accent.

Answer 4

If you are Word - go into symbols

Answer 5

holding Ctrl and Alt on my keyboard and pressing a vowel turns out like á é í ó and ú... I put the two dots above an O (like in german... is that called an umlaut?) once but i didn't mean it so i dunno how i did it!

Sorry I'm not much help but go into accessories and system tools and select character map and you can get everything there...

Answer 6

i do it by getting an example from the internet and copying it into the document. But using 'symbols' is a better way

Answer 7

Nick22 has given you most of them but I wish he'd tell me how to get a circumflex (^) over a 'w' and a 'y' for Welsh. I can do î, ô, ê, û and â but not for w and y.

Answer 8

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a Mexican Keyboard.
