Typing in Spanish

How do I add Spanish punctuation? I'm trying to send a message to a friend and I can't figure it out.

If it's in Word, you can go to Insert --> Special Character and choose from there. If it's in email, there are HTML codes, but I dunno what they are.

You can cheat by copy/paste from somewhere else like a website.

Good for occasional correspondence, this free website allows you to write in Spanish, using your English keyboard, by providing supplementary click on keys for Spanish letters with accents. There are also keyboard shortcuts so you don't have to use the mouse. You can compose your letter on it; then, cut and paste into an email, IM, PM ... etc.:

On this phone, Google translate handles this kind of thing.

y se puede hablar por teléfono y que se traducirá en español para ti.
It will even read it aloud for you.

It came in handy in Puerto Rico.
