In Windows XP you have to install a Spanish keyboard from
the Control Panel. In Word (and that's what this newsgroup
is about), you can get a "ñ" by typing Control+Shift+~ (on
my keyboard, the key to the left of "1" in the top row) and
then "n".

Well, no, actually, you don't HAVE to install a Spanish
keyboard. All you need is the ANSI-code:
Alt+0241 = ñ

If you are used to an English keyboard the custom keyboard
I made might be easier to pick up than a Spanish layout,
as no letters and symbols are in different locations. See
