Where is the Spanish question mark?

Can any of you Spanish speakers help? I can't find the upside-down Spanish question mark in the Insert/Symbols stuff (where all the accented letters are)in Microsoft word. How can I type it? Thank you!

Soupie, I have been messing around in Display Panel and got nowhere - the keyboard part only lets you do things like "cursor blink rate" - really useful!

There is another icon for "Regional & Language", have been fiddling there and changed US to UK where I can but the pound sign etc still don't work.

DH will just have to get his book out. Or ring Dell.

JanH, my language settings are on the same option but a separate tab to the "cursor blink rate" bit. The blinking option is under a tab headed "speed". Must be different in XP I guess.

whymummy, I wish I knew what you'd done because our keyboard does that all the time and I've been trying to change it - if you find out what you've unset, tell me and I can set it!

It's something to do with US English settings. DH's laptop doesn't have a pound sign at all - so it must be American (although it's a Toshiba) - and has " above the comma and @ above the 2. Our keyboard works like that too, but the symbols are the other way round on the keys. I hope this makes sense!

babster, that's interesting (sorry about your previous life btw!) - all my Alt codes begin with a 0 - there must be thousands of them!

whymummy · 10/10/2003 10:03

oh janh i don't think i will,i'm useless it took me ages to find where the @ had gone

whymummy · 27/10/2003 12:56

jahn i still can't find what i did wrong,i can't find the pound symbol either,did you fix yours?
thanx
