Answer 1

There are lots of ways to do it.

Read This Post for one. You can also do what Jeezle said on a laptop, but it is a big hassle. By all means the best thing to do is install the "US International Keyboard" layout which is included in Windows. Then all you have to do is hold down the right ALT key while pressing ? to get ¿. (The same is true for áéíóúñ¡ etc.)

If you want a quickie place to enter words, then cut and past, go here:

Typeit.org

And if you still have trouble, come back here and ask again, we'd love to help you.

My keyboard is set up for DVORAK will that still work? Gracias. - jeezzle, Jul 7, 2010

thanks every 1 ill prob just copy and paste its looks easier :* - xnataliex, Jul 7, 2010

Trust me, it's really not difficult. I have it set up on all the computers in my life. It takes me about 30 seconds. - Goyo, Jul 7, 2010

Jeezle- That I don't know. You can try it and see. - Goyo, Jul 7, 2010

Answer 2

You have to press it using the number key on the right of the keyboard. The top numbers are not part of the number key, only the ones to the right of the keyboard. The "keypad" as it is called. ALT 0191 = ¿.

Good information to keep under my belt.. till my lessons have me need it. Thanks for the question xnataliex and for the answer jeezle. - Nise, Jul 7, 2010

Answer 3

Use Alt 0191 that worked for me.

Answer 4

i dont have the numbers on the right am using a laptop(small) think its called a note book! so does that mean i cant get the upside down ?

If there is no number pad on the right then you will have to find other options. I believe that the Firefox browser allows the answerbox on this site to let you add a question mark. - jeezzle, Jul 7, 2010

how do i find the firefox? sorry am not good with computers! - xnataliex, Jul 7, 2010

It might be worthwhile going to the feedback area to ask admin that they include this upside down question mark on any lessons that require it. - Nise, Jul 7, 2010

No, Nise. You have to know how to type all Spanish accent marks whenever and wherever you type- in MS Word, and everyplace. - Goyo, Jul 7, 2010

i did it and i can change to spanish key board if i press left alt and shift but i stil cant get upside down ? unless i just cant find it??? - xnataliex, Jul 7, 2010
