I lost the box that pops up with foreign characters, accents, etc.
Until I clicked on something accidentally, I was able to click on insert,
then symbol and a box with foreign characters/symbols would pop up to allow me to type my Spanish papers. Now it seems to be gone when I click on symbol, nothing pops up. Where did it go? How do I get it back? |

That's not something that should be able to happen, but there are
easier ways to type the Spanish accents -- assuming you have an English (US) keyboard (maybe they're different for other flavors of the English keyboard), for the acute accent, type Ctrl-apostrophe followed by the letter (cap or lowercase), for the tilde, type Ctrl-~ (next to the exclamation point) followed by the n or N. I don't know where the inverted ! and ? are, but you can ask the Help button how to type them. (It'll also show you how to get the other accents used in French, German, etc.) On May 25, 2:08*am, Kirby wrote: Until I clicked on something accidentally, I was able to click on insert, then symbol and a box with foreign characters/symbols would pop up to allow me to type my Spanish papers.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/LostSymbol.htm for an explanation of
what you did and how to fix it. As Peter points out, however, if you use Spanish characters frequently, it would be worth your while to note and remember the shortcut keys for them. -- Suzanne S.
