squiggly line

[dulce]

I do not know the name of the squiggly lines and what not used when writing in Spanish. I know I could search google or maybe even DR1 to learn.
To be honest I am taking the lazy way out and asking the experts here in Spanish 101: How do I type the squiggly line over an "n" in Spanish? For example: Ano I do not want to tell someone to have a happy ano. :lick:

Easy!

That is called a tilde. If you have a standard keyboard, you can create a tilde with an alt key code.

For ?, hold down the alt key and type in the code 0241 on the numeric keypad. For ?, hold down the alt key and type in the code 0209 on the numeric keypad.

Windows Alt Key Codes

You can also configure your keyboard for International English (if you have a Windows machine). For Apples, I believe it is in the keycaps program, but haven't used an Apple in so long that I can't remember.

I always cheat and copy and paste it from some random website.

Or: Control panel, regional and language, change keyboards, and set to United States International and Spanish.

Then anytime you want a spanish letter ?,?,?,? just press the alt gr key next to space bar and the letter you want - e, n, a, ?.

With thanks to JR Hartley for explaining this to me.
