Keyboard language, selection

[Jackson]

On my old 98 & ME machines I selected English, US International as the
language and that allowed me to type stuff like á é í ó ú ý ñ ¿ ?. In
any text document. Now I have a Compaq laptop with XP home edition,
and I can't find that font set. This post was written on my 98
desktop which permits me to write those letters.

There is no language tab in the Keyboard control in the Control Panel
of my XPHE. There is a Regional and Language Options button in the
control panel which offers different languages, but I can't seem to
find English, US International.

How can I set up my laptop to type Spanish letters?

Thanks

Try this:

Control Panel>Regional and Language Options>Languages (tab)>Details

Under the settings tab, select the languages you want.
Under the same tab, click the Language Bar thing, and then select the
box to "Show the Language Bar on the desktop".
OK your way out, select whatever language you want (you can use
Alt-Left Shift to switch between languages) and start typing.

Good luck
Paul

Thanks, Paul. I didn't dig deep enough.
