How do I add Spanish punctuation? I'm trying to send a message to a friend and I can't figure it out.

If it's in Word, you can go to Insert --> Special Character and choose from there. If it's in email, there are HTML codes, but I dunno what they are.

Good for occasional correspondence, this free website allows you to write in Spanish, using your English keyboard, by providing supplementary click on keys for Spanish letters with accents. There are also keyboard shortcuts so you don't have to use the mouse. You can compose your letter on it; then, cut and paste into an email, IM, PM ... etc.:
