Using Diacritics in Outlook Express 6.0

[Tammy]

Does anyone know how to set up Outlook Express 6.0 so that you can type in
Spanish using the diacritics? Currently we can receive emails with the
diacritics and they look fine but when we reply or start a new message we are
unable to type the diacritics. We have the language set up on the computer
and we can type in Spanish in Outlook and other Office applications.

Thanks!

Tammy

The control panel can change the keyboard configuration to Spanish. It's in
the Regional Settings app.

I use and recommend a little freeware background program called
AllChars. This lets me (in all applications, not just OE) type many
common special characters (many of these are used in other languages)
by pressing the ctrl key followed by a two character mnemonic
combination.

For example, for ñ the two characters are ~ and n. For ç it's c and ,
For ü it's u and "
