I lost the box that pops up with foreign characters, accents, etc.

Until I clicked on something accidentally, I was able to click on insert,
then symbol and a box with foreign characters/symbols would pop up to allow
me to type my Spanish papers. Now it seems to be gone when I click on symbol,
nothing pops up. Where did it go? How do I get it back?

That's not something that should be able to happen, but there are
easier ways to type the Spanish accents -- assuming you have an
English (US) keyboard (maybe they're different for other flavors of
the English keyboard), for the acute accent, type Ctrl-apostrophe
followed by the letter (cap or lowercase), for the tilde, type Ctrl-~
(next to the exclamation point) followed by the n or N. I don't know
where the inverted ! and ? are, but you can ask the Help button how to
type them. (It'll also show you how to get the other accents used in
French, German, etc.)
