Hi Anne - I’ve been playing around with the keyboard, but can’t find how to create other acute accents. In Spanish the acute accent is used with all five vowels, but I can only find an acute E by using the options key. Have I missed something? - Andy On 4 Nov 2014, at 21:20, Anne Robertson

Yikes! thanks for this. Is there a pneumonic device for this, or is this something we have to memorize. Just curious is all. Be blessed. On Nov 4, 2014, at 1:20 PM, Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk wrote: Hello Andy, You get accented letters by using the Option key with various
