Lesson 18 - Other Characters & Languages

There may be times when you wish to put other characters or some other language on your pages. In order to do this you need to use special key sequences. For example, using the ALT KEY + NUMBERS you could put the following Spanish characters on your page. NOTE: use the numeric keypad, not with the row of numbers across the top of your keyboard. You can find more on this at http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/spanish.html#winalt

Alt Codes for typing Spanish characters:
