How do I type the upside-down ? for the recall sections?

Question

For words like >>> ¿cómo está? It has it on the question page here but not on the recall for teaching you.

You can usually find the charater you can not type straight away in the text on the page, high lite it and with the control key depressed, drag it to the location where you want it. By holding the control key depressed, the original will remain. - eablicker, Sep 16, 2009

Answer 1

Hi Thanatos,

You could hold down ALT and enter 0191 on the keypad on the right side of your keyboard. But that takes longer, and that doesn't solve the other letters, áéíóúñ etc.

Rather than memorize all those codes, there is a better way. You need to set up the "US INternational Keyboard" on your computer. It's built in to your PC, but probably not activated yet.

The instructions for that are in this document.. That is by far the easiest way to do it, and it will help you get more points when you are working through the exercises!

The other letters are already at the bottom of the recall section. - Eddy, Sep 16, 2009

Alt 168 also works. - Eddy, Sep 16, 2009

Answer 2

Do you mean the recall sections in Paralee's lessons? But all Spanish characters: á é í ó ú ñ ¿ ¡ are there, below the window where you type.

Answer 3

I appreciate all of your comments into this problem and will look into the solutions you have provided. To answer mctague's question I have tried just a ? at the end. Still marks me as wrong. Thank you everyone. =)

Oh, on the recall you don't need a question mark for lesson 1.1 - mctague, Oct 2, 2009

Answer 4

If it's not in the window below where you type, the system will accept it with just the regular question mark at the end.
