How can I type spanish accents on my A8JP?

I was googling on how to type spanish accents using a laptop and it doesnt work for me. Here is what I do:

1. I set numlock on
2. I hold FN and CTRL together
3. I press numbers that corrrespond to the accent letter
4. I release FN and CTRL

The program I am using is word. Whenever I press FN CTRL 164, it makes it seem as if I pressed "Format" with a mouse. What am I doing wrong?

 

Press Ctrl, ', then the letter to get accents in Word.
Press Ctrl, shift, ~, n to get Ñ.

 

Star > Run > charmap
put it in advanced mode, which brings up the ability to search

 

but how would i do that with a tilde with a little n?

I just did the charmap...... very interesting. Thanks

 

Oh sorry, I forgot to clarify about the ñ.

You press Ctrl, shift, ~, THEN let go of shift, and press n.
Keep holding shift if you want upper case Ñ.

 

thanks! takes me awhile to get used to that. Sometimes it takes me to a new document. But ill get used to it.
