 **To make accents and punctuation:**  **Not a Mac:** Use the following codes. Some keyboards require that you use the "numeric keypad" located to the side, rather than the numbers along the top.  On some keyboards, only one of the two Alt keys will work. á = Alt + 0225  é = Alt + 0233  í = Alt + 0237  ó = Alt + 0243  ú = Alt + 0250  ñ = Alt + 0241 <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"> ü = Alt + 0252 <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"> ¡ = Alt + 0161 <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,'Sans Serif',Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"> ¿ = Alt + 0191
