Insert Special Characters

Sometimes you may need to insert a special character in a word that you type, such as a letter with an accent; for example, ó.

On the keyboard, press and hold the applicable character key. A small menu of special characters available for that character will open above the key. Select the special character you want.

For example, to insert the special character ó, you would hold down the “o” key on the keyboard and select ó from the small menu.
