  • How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers
    How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers Introduction Current word processors and operating systems provide a large number of methods for writing special characters such as accented letters used in foreign languages. Unfortunately, it is not always obvious just how to enter such characters. Moreover, even when one knows a method of typing an accented letter, there may be a much simpler method for doing the same thing. This note may help you find the most convenient method for typing such characters. The choice of method will largely depend on how frequently you have to type in foreign languages. 1 The “ALT Key” Method This is the most common method of entering special characters. It always works, regardless of what pro- gram you are using. On both PCs and Macs, you can write foreign characters in any application by combining the ALT key (the key next to the space bar) with some alphabetic characters (on the Mac) or numbers (on PCs), pro- vided you type numbers on the numeric keypad, rather than using the numbers at the top of the keyboard. To do that, of course, also requires your NumLock Key to be turned on, which it normally will be. For example, On the Mac, ALT + n generates “ñ”. On the PC, ALT + (number pad) 164 or ALT + (number pad) 0241 generate “ñ”. A list of three- and four-digit PC codes for some common foreign languages appears at the end of this note. 2 The “Insert Symbol” Method Most menus in word processors and other applications offer access to a window displaying all the printable characters in a particular character set.

  • DU Learning Guide Using the Keyboard
    DU Learning Guide Using the keyboard “Just like a typewriter.” Many web pages have places where you can type words and numbers. They are called text boxes. A text box is normally a rectangle with a small vertical line at the left hand end that flashes on and off. This is called the cursor. If you think a box on a page should be a text box, but there is no cursor, put the mouse pointer on the box and click with the left mouse button. The cursor will start to flash. A typical computer keyboard looks like this. The main part of the keyboard has letters and numbers like a typewriter. There are also some keys that have special uses when you are typing into a web page. See the next page for what they do.
