Sounds reasonable, but I selected the keyboard from a drop down definitive
list to set up the keyboard; i.e. "Microsoft Wireless Multimedia
Keyboard",
which directed me to check the model on the bottom of same.

Perhaps you refer to a selection within the Word programme itself?
Directions please. And thank you very much for your time. Tom

When I include a word or phrase in quotation marks, the actual marks
do
not
appear until the next character is keyed. I am used to seeing them
appear
immediately. This occurred spontaneously. I know there is a checkbox
somewhere to remedy this, but I can't find it . It probably has
something
to
do with accented letters. My version of Word is 2002. Thank you.
