hi

I occasionally use Spanish in my correspondence.

On my desktop computer using XP I use the normal keyboard with ALTKEY Codes to get the special Spanish accented characters using the right hand numeric pad. So for inatance if I want to type an accented "e" I type ALT0233 etc.

My desktop is down at the moment so I tried to write to my sister in Spain and find that using the ALTKEY Codes does not work on may laptop using Vista.

Can anyone help me here on how I can achieve this??

Cheers
