how do I type a tilde over the letter "n" in Excel?
I am typing in Spanish.
I want to type, e.g., "nino" and "bebe" with a tilde over the letter "n" and an acute accent over the letter "e". I can type a tilde in Word (sometimes -- it usually does not work) by pressing down simultaneously: CTRL + SHIFT + ~ (TILDE), then letting go of those keys, and then pressing a lower-case "n". I can type an acute accent in Word by pressing down simultaneously: CTRL + Apostrophe, then letting go of those keys, and then presseing a lower-case "e". These shortcut combinations do not seem to be working in *Excel*. I can also (in both Word and Excel) use Insert = Symbol = Symbol tab, and then select the symbol I want, but this is very slow. I prefer to use a shortcut key, rather than insert a symbol, because the shortcut key method is much quicker. Can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance. |

Not sure if your Windows system works the same, but try this: press the ALT
key and type 164 from the number keypad. Here are some mo ALT+130 = é ALT+138 = è ALT+136 = ê ALT+139 = ï ALT+140 = î ALT+165 = Ñ etc., etc., etc.! For a complete list go to: http://teachers.sduhsd.k12.ca.us/abr...sh%20Codes.pdf OR http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc.html OR http://lladmin.truman.edu/accents.htm OR http://www.cotse.com/altcodes.html Many more places than these, too.
