Typing Accented Vowels and Other Characters for Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese |
The Turlington language lab computers can be set to the International keyboard, which allows easy typing of accented text in any Windows program (Netscape, email, WordPerfect, etc.). In Turlington, students may switch to the International keyboard by clicking on the EN icon on the menu at the bottom. This will allow a choice among the normal and the International keyboard, or Japanese.
In the Little labs, the choice is currently between the International keyboard and the regular one.
It is also possible to
type a wide range of foreign-language characters by using the ASCII
codes.
