<br />

*2. Select "Clock, Language and Region"<br />
*3. Under Regional and Language Options, pick "Change keyboard or other input method." <br />
*4. Select the General tab. Under "Installed Services" click "Add..."<br />

<br />
<br />
==Using the "right-Alt"==<br />
<br />
Once installed, the international keyboard then allows you to do the following:<br />
<br />
* Add the accents to the vowels, press the right-Alt key at the same time as the vowel. <br />
<br><br />
Example: To type á, press the right-Alt key and the a at the same time. If you're capitalizing to make Á, you'll have to press three keys simultaneously — the a, right-Alt and the shift key. <br />
<br />
* Add special characters. <br />
<br><br />
Example: Angular quotation markets (« and ») can be created by pressing the right-Alt key and one of the bracket keys simultaneously. The inverted question mark (¿) and inverted exclamation point (¡) are also done similarly. Press right-Alt and the 1 key (which also is used for the exclamation point) for the inverted exclamation point; for the inverted question mark, press right-Alt and the question mark key at the same time.</div>en>Helpdesk
