Thought I'd put this up as its come up on another thread.
You can set up language options by;-
Start - Control Panel - Regional & Language Options
In XP select the languages tab then click details, click Add... and select spanish (Traditional Sort). In Windows 7 expand the option by clicking on the + sign and you need to select the keyboard option as well.
Click OK to all
from your desktop, on your task bar at the bottom of the screen, right click and select Toolbars. - Language bar
You can then select from English keyboard (EN) or spanish (ES) or any othe language if you added them in the previous way
Takes a bit of getting used to, to know where the letters are. ñ for example is where the semi colon is.

Is there a way of making the change permanent? The keyboard icon shows up at the bottom of my screen, so I have to click on it and then change the language to Español each time. We have a Spanish keyboard, so it would be easier to have it defaulting to Spanish rather than English!

PS By the way, my brother lives in Axminster (Willhayes Park) - we will have to meet up the next time we go and visit him!

Hi Suemac
you can change it permanently. Go back the control panel and select regions & languages, select the language tab and press the details button, you then have an option at the top called default input language, just select the spanish option, then OK to all. when you restart your computer the default will be spanish, or any other language you've selected.
send us an email when your over, we can meet up for a drink.

As is mentioned below you can simply switch between English and Spanish via the language bar icon once you've installed the relevant language option: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Details > Add 
¿Es facil,no?

The @ (there just done it) is obtained by pressing the "alt gr" key and the 2 key together.

On my lap top, it's the key marked as such, the key to the right of the space bar. I have copied the following from another website:
"The ALT GR key is on the right side of the keyboard on some non-U.S. keyboard layouts. ALT GR is equivalent to the CTRL+ALT key combination, and you can use it with other keys to enter additional characters as shown in the following list of keyboard languages. Microsoft Word can differentiate between the left and right ALT keys so that you can use CTRL+ALT and ALT GR key combinations".
Here's the link to the above http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/alt-gr-keys-HP005259063.aspx
Hope this helps
