FP2003: how do I get a Spanish mark over an English letter?

This is really stupid... I've done this before many years
ago. How do I get the Tilda over the n in senor? ....
and how do I get the exclamation point? over the o in
confirmation?
I know how to type a document in Spanish but I sure
don't know how to type a document in English that
just has one or two words in Spanish.
I'm ashamed to be asking this question since I know
it was very easy the last time I had to do it.
Can anyone just point me to the right direction?
Thank you.
 
Perhaps if you had given the answer it might have enlightened some
interested dummies!!

Sorry Padito,
I just figured everyone knew Windows and in general all PC
stuff better than I. I went to the Windows 'Accessibility' menu
and selected the 'character map' and then selected the char-
acter I needed and copied it. Then went to the FrontPage docu-
ment where I needed the Spanish character replacement and
issued the paste to replace my English o with the spanish o
with the punctuation mark. Hope this makes sense. This
solved the problem for me.
Thank you for taking the time to make a point that I hadn't
thought about when making my prior post.

Thanks Rob,
This is the solution I was originally looking for... I knew I did
it in FrontPage but I couldn't remember how and I found the
solution I used from Windows when I couldn't find it in FrontPage.
Thank you and thanks Padito for both replies.
 
Yer Welcome!

BTW, it's a tilde or diacritic mark - TildA was my wicked with of the north
english teacher in the 7th grade who made us diagram sentences till our
fingers bled :-)

BIG GRIN:
Rob, you're bringing back old memories of Catholic Grade School....
I wasn't sure anyone even remembered the word 'diacritic', and I
knew it wasn't a 'tilda' but I didn't know what to call it.
God bless you.... or whatever higher being you believe in.
