Computer help: Spanish Laptop Keyboard, I need help

Spanish Keyboard

Hi. First of all, check that your keyboard is configured as a Spanish or Spanish Traditional keyboard. It may have been left as a US keyboard if an English version of Windows was installed to replace the original Spanish copy (common error!). Only with the right keyboard installed, will you stand a chance of getting the right keys or key combinations to bring up on screen what you want. This will of course be a bit of a pain if you're a real typist & bang away without looking at the keys themselves.

Once having confirmed that you have the correct keyboard installed, then the most common key strokes are as follows:

@ symbol.........Alt Gr + 2
# symbol.........Alt Gr + 3

Of course symbols not shown on the keyboard can also be created by (for example) to create the Sterling Pound symbol Hold the Alt key + then hitting the ASCI numbers 1 5 6 (The Pound sign will come up on screen if you're creating an E-Mail but if you're using M/S Word, you'll need to use the "Insert Symbol" to have Word create the required symbol).

As you've said, some keys may have a third symbol shown...usually in a different color. This is usually created by holding down the Alt key & hitting the key with the required symbol but to be sure about the Alt key, check which key has the same color showing on it i.e. the Control key may have the color showing instead of the Alt.

Hope that helps some.
