Any one know how to change my keyboard from eng to spanish so I can complete my spanish homework. I believe you alt ? but cant seem to work it out.
Gracis.

go to the control panel and select regions and languages to add Spanish.

You may well need your original XP disks

Maybe the Spanish Language section has a siesta. Try later in the day.

 

[andy_k]

if the language is installed then left alt and left shift should change it.

in the language options panel you can enable the language bar to let you see which language is active

Link below allows you to easily type Spanish accents and other Spanish characters without a Spanish keyboard. You can edit your text in the box and then copy it to your e-mail application, word processor, etc.
Hope this helps!

Gracis?

He/she did say he needs to do his/her homework... And besides, that should be ¿Gracis?

FWIW, dava, if you don't have a physically Spanish keyboard, I wouldn't recommend changing the keyboard settings in Control Panel. Just use Character Map to learn how to type the characters you need using the keyboard you've got. For example, Alt+0191 (on the keypad) gives you the inverted question mark.

Could someone explain what Gracis means please

 

[LastMinute]

Nothing - and that's the point. We suspect dava meant to type 'gracias', which is Spanish for 'thank you'.

 

[marcos]

Sorry I should have read the post properly

I know what Gracias means as I am actually half Spanish, I m also not really with it at the moment
