Here are some of the ASCII codes, enough for Spanish anyway--you turn on the Num Lock and use the keypad to type the numbers while holding down an Alt key. You should be able to find a longer list on the Web. á = Alt + 160 ç = Alt + 135 . Ç = Alt + 128 é = Alt + 130 É = Alt + 144 ñ = Alt + 164 Ñ = Alt + 165 í = Alt + 161 ó = Alt + 162 ¿ = Alt + 168 ¡ = Alt + 173 ú = Alt + 163 Alternatively, you can select go to Settings-Control Panel--Keyboard and find the Language settings and select English--U.S. International keyboard, which turns the keys with ~and ` and with " and ' into dead keys that produce accents over vowels or, in the case of ~ over the n when it is typed after pressing the key. ' followed by c gives ç and control+alt+/ gives the ¿ while control+alt+1 gives ¡. The accents work in all Windows apps. BUT-- email programs typically go through quite a few phases of processing and accents may not survive in an email (which is why I will be interested not only in other answers but in whether I will get this post back with the accented letters intact). An accented letter or even an innocent apostrophe may emerge as a string of strange characters. I remember having this discussion on this list (I think) 5 or 6 years ago and the same accented word, sent out by the same person, produced several different "end products" with various jumbled interpretations. So you may want to experiment with a particular correspondent to be sure that the email process between you is kind to the accents.
