I use punctuation too! I have a mac and the keystrokes are pretty easy. When I had a pc, I could do it too, but I had to use more keystrokes, using the International Character set. Google it. For example í, might be, ALT+CNTL+0233, or some other number. On a mac, it's OPTION/alt+e, i; give it a try.

¡Mira! ¿Cómo estás? and for my genealogy obsession, Grüß Gott!

If I must tell the truth...

I do speak Spanish, but my grammar is not the best. So I double check most of what I write on freetranslation.com

So for what I wrote on the AQ board, the translation site put the upside down exclamation points and question marks, tildes and accents on for me. I just copied and pasted.

When I type things "free hand", I do just what speedsquare said. Or I go into the "Insert" drop down menu, choose symbol, the scroll down until I find the one I want.

For Macs running OS X, there's a character palette which will let you easily add accented characters to your writing--and also characters in Hebrew, Greek, Polish, Russian, and even more. You can find the Character Palette under the little US flag on the right of the menu bar. Click on the "Latin-1 Supplement" for the most commonly used accents.

If you're using system 9 or earlier, there was a control panel called "PopChar" that would let you select every character for a selected font. I think there was also a version for PCs, but I don't know if it is still out there.
