Programming Spanish Characters on Word
It is also possible to program Microsoft Word to use a
key such as the ALT with the letter or symbol to do the same thing. Go
to the Insert menu and select Symbol, highlight the
symbol that you want to program, such as Á (capital A with accent). Then select the
Shortcut Key and "press new shortcut key". The "current keys" will
tell you what the current shortcut is to that key. Since I use very
few shortcuts on my keyboard, I have assigned ALT + n to give me ñ and
ATL + o to give me ó (accented o) etc.
You will still need the above codes because this programming only
works in Word, of course, you can always create your documents in Word
and then cut and paste them into email and other types of documents.
Suppress the Red and Green Underline in Word
If you are using MS Word
and the wavy underlines check spelling (red
underline) and check grammar (green
underline) clutter your document, while you are typing in
Spanish, you can temporarily hide them as follows:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then
click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
2. Select the Hide spelling errors in this document and
Hide grammatical errors in this document check boxes.
