I can't type text with special Spanish characters (Captivate 6)

Hola Iñaki. Es totalmente desalentador. Si me dijeran si recomiendo Adobe Captivate mi respuesta es que no. Es imposible escribir un acento. Es un error gigantesco. Sigo sin solucionarlo.

And as a complete aside, kinda disheartening that this post is two years old and there is still not a working function for user input for Spanish characters when you're using an English keyboard.  How could this get overlooked?  Unless I'm missing something, in which case I will apologize de antemano.

I am using Captivate 8, and am having the same problems.  My issue may be slightly different from what y'all are talking about, as I am a high school Spanish teacher, and so there are no Spanish keyboards available.  My students will be working off a standard QWERTY board.  I've tried all the shortcuts that usually work with ctrl and alt keys with no success.  My students will occasionally need to enter those characters, and I've been looking for a way for them to enter that info into the text input boxes, but I'm not finding one.  I've even tried to create a button that will enter the needed characters into the box without any success.  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?  What am I overlooking?

I am Dutch speaking, and ë ê are working fine, but those are 'second' combination characters. I just discovered that 'third' combinations on my keyboard like ~´`are not working. We do not need them so much in Dutch, that should be the reason. So sorry about that, should have checked (was in prerelease), will try to find out.

Are those 3rd as well for you (to be invoked with Alt-Gr)? I checked and it was possible to use those characters in CP5.5. As soon as I have more information, will be back.
