Anyone aware of a font that allows you to accent capitalized letters? I am using MS Word translating English>Spanish. | | | US international keyboard | Dec 3, 2016 |
I do it all the time on all fonts using the US international keyboard setting. | | |

Just use the following combinations in Word Alt+0769 — acute accent as in Á Alt+0768 — grave accent as in À It should work for any font. | |

Selecting "Enforce Accented Uppercase in French" in the Spelling and Grammar section of Word preferences did the trick. Before, Word would not let me put accents on capitalized letters, they would come out looking like this < E´ > so I was using a laborious work-around. Thanks! | | | Another Option | Dec 3, 2016 |
In Word, you can have the KEY Caps Lock activated and just keep pressed the key Ctrl and then hit the key ', that would do the trick as well. | | | neilmac Spain Local time: 11:18 Spanish to English + ...
AFAIK the convention on accents in all-cap words was that they weren't required, but the DRAE had a reshuffle recently so anything is possible... I'll ask my filo... Spanish colleague about it mañana... You know, like in France years ago the newspapers gave up and just made them all flat for headlines...

Accents are required for capital letters. Check the grammar published on 2010 by the RAE. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I did check it with my expert colleague today, who says: "si llevan acento gráfico en minúscula, también se pone en mayúscula" ... So I was mistaken. "El empleo de la mayúscula no exime de poner la tilde cuando así lo exijan las reglas de acentuación gráfica: CÓRDOBA. (http://aplica.rae.es/orweb/cgi-bin/buscar.cgi)
