Foreign and Special Character Keyboard Shortcuts in Word for Windows

(For use with Micrsoft Word for Windows version 6.0 or newer, for Windows 3.1x or Windows 95.)

Some useful information on how the above chart works:

• The rules for the "a" work for other applicable letters, such as ó or ü.
• If you want to do capital letters, hit SHIFT before the letter in the righthand column.
• Keystrokes in parentheses are there for the sake of explanation; you don't need to type them. They are there to remind you: to get characters like ~ and @ remember to hit the SHIFT key first.
• You can get more info from the Word "Help" menu under "Keyboard Shortcuts"
• You can add new keyboard shortcuts or change the existing ones by clicking "Options" under the tool menu.
