[texhax] Latex in spanish and using the spell check

[Marie Forrester]

Hi,

I would like to write latex files in spanish.

Previously to get ó I used \'o.

Then I installed babel and it seems that instead I can get ó with ´o.

So to write población I have to write poblaci'on (with babel) or  
poblaci\'on. (without babel)

However when I use spell check in the tex file, both poblaci'on and  
poblaci\'on will be highlighted as incorrectly spelt words (even  
though they are correct in the .pdf file)

It would be great if I could use the standard spanish keyboard to  
type letters such as ó in the tex file to faciliate spell checking.
Is this possible???

Thanks,
Marie
