RAH> I am new to using Word and thus far love it.  My question: 
RAH> How do I place a tilde (~) above a character when I am
RAH> typing Spanish words?
Look up the tilde in the online help.  This will lead you to the topic "How 
to create international letters with a U.S. Keyboard".
In your specific example, type Ctrl~, then type the letter (A,N, or O).
