I am needing to put an Spanish accent on "n".  How do I do that on the documents online?

Hi Wendy

Thanks for posting in the Community! The keyboard controls you use to add accents in Lucidchart should be the same as what's currently used elsewhere on your computer. For example on Mac hold down the Option key and while holding it down type the letter e; then release those keys and type the letter that you want the accent to appear on: á = Opt + e then a. é = Opt + e then e. í = Opt + e then i. If you have further questions please let me know.

Hi All,

I am taking Spanish 1 and unable to type the accents using my own PC.

I have a note if use CTR +’ and volwel it will type, but it does not. 

Please advise.

Hi ​@FAMI, thank you for continuing this post. It sounds like you are using a Windows device, is this correct? Does the vowel appear without any accents when you try to use CTR +’? 

This information will help me take a closer look at the issue on my end. Please feel to let me know if you have any questions!
