If you want your document to be kept compatible with RISC OS, you better
use the latin1 ASCII values. All spanish diacritics are supported.

And remember:
Alt-[ + a, e, i, o, u   gives á, é, í, ó, ú
Alt-] + a etc.   gives à etc.
Alt-: + a etc.   gives ä etc.
Alt-" + a etc.   gives â etc.

That is: press Alt and the [-key (or the ]-key, or the ;-key, or the '-key)
simultaneously, release them and then press the desired vowel. It will work
with capitals as well.

By the way: Alt-, + n gives ñ.
And Alt-/ + c gives ç.

These short cuts are built in since RISC OS 3, perhaps even earlier, and
work throughout the entire system. They really are indispensable for
continental languages such as French, German, Dutch as well as Spanish.
But of course, you can also use F11 in OvationPro.

Best wishes,
