Typing Accents and Diacritical Marks

You do not need to type accent and diacritical marks when you are entering words at the entry screen. They will be added automatically. However, if you type a word which has two forms that are accented differently, (for example, pelo, pêlo) just highlight the form that you want and press ENTRAR .

If you want to type an accent or diacritical mark in a word, first type the desired letter (for example, e) and then press or until the correct mark appears.
