how to type in Spanish using PC and Mac shortcuts

Accents!

It is important to have accents on Spanish words, particularly names (even when writing in English sentences, use Spanish accents for names).

Notice the handy keyboard shortcuts here for PC and Mac for accent marks [in Microsoft Word only – not in search engine typing].


***In a pinch? Forgot the shortcuts? Don’t just say, “Oh well!”

Another option is to type the person’s name in Spanish in Google, for example, type “Tomas” – and it will be corrected automatically to “Tomás.” Then you can copy and paste either the full name or the letter “a” with the accent.
