➤ Typing Accents and Diacritical Marks
You do not need to type accent and
diacritical marks when you are entering
words at the entry screen. They will be
added automatically. However, if you
type a word which has two forms that
are accented differently, (for example,
pelo, pêlo) just highlight the form that
you want and press
ENTRAR
.
If you want to type an accent or diacritical
mark in a word, first type the desired
letter (for example,
e) and then press
or until the correct mark appears.
