I know this is a OT conversation, but does anyone know how Spanish characters are created in Appleworks 6?

What options will I have under AppleWorks 6?
Welcome to the better, Macintosh way of doing things.

Under OS 9, you can quickly see special characters by using the Apple Menu's "Key Caps" program. In OS X, Key Caps is a separate program you can just keep in the Dock. Some characters (like the accented "e") are two keystrokes: you press option-e, then e. The result (which will probably get garbled in this plain-text email) will look like this: �

With practice you will quickly not need to use Key Caps and will just "know" the most common Spanish characters, such as:

accented n: option-n, then n (�)
accented u: option-e, then u (�), or a (�) or any other letter
upside down exclamation mark: option-! (aka option-shift-1) (�)
upside down question mark: option-? (�)

Now -- isn't that a lot easier than Windows?!! :)
