Method Four: Spell Check

If your computer has Spanish spell check you can use this option to help you add accents. Note that in some cases of homonyms, spell check will not indicate that the word is missing an accent. Change the language to Spanish by going to Tools, Language, Set Language. Choose Spanish (Spain-Modern Sort).
