How to get Spanish punctuation marks in Zorin

[windswords]

I have recently installed Zorin 16 Core and really like it. My wife teaches Spanish and we discovered that any word processing or text editing programs we use (ie text editor, Libre Office, Only Office etc.) will not allow her to use Spanish punctuation marks (such as the single quote mark above a letter to denote which syllable in a word is emphasized). She did this before in Windows by holding down the alt key and typing in a numeric code - for example alt + 130 would give the letter e with a single tick above it. We know that it is not the fault of either Libre or Only Office because I installed them on an old Windows 7 machine and the above process worked. So it appears to be at the OS level. If anyone has an answer or suggestion I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Frank
