Hey, do you guys remember how to put tildas over Spanish words, like 'Nina' -ninya-?
I can't remember how to do it in Word and it's bugging me.

Hold down the [Ctrl] key before pressing the tilde key, then hit n.

What version of Word? I'm using 97
Never mind. I got it by pressing the shift key as well.

Thanks, Eric.

You can also use extended ASCII code for adding accents and tildas.

Hold the ALT key and type the number code.

For example,

ALT+130= é
ALT+164= ñ
ALT+165= Ñ
