Default french accents in word and in outlook

Perhaps you have a laptop with a built-in International keyboard. If
so, somewhere there's a key that toggles between it and the normal US
keyboard. Locate that key and type it again.

Maybe you toggled/cycled to a different keyboard (by accidentally
pressing LeftAlt+Shift). If you keep pressing that combination, you'll
eventually get back to your normal keyboard.

If you're sure you have no use for extra keyboards, you can go to
Start Control Panel Regional and Language Options and follow the
buttons and tabs for deleting a keyboard (not for deleting a
language).

This is a Windows thing, not a Word thing.

No idea what "Microsoft 7" is. Perhaps either Windows 7 or Word2007?

I suddenly have a problem - when I try to type a question mark or quotation
marks, it types an accented letter. I'm working in Microsoft 7 and I've
checked the language in the control panel. I think I must have hit a wrong
key because this just started today, i had no trouble using these keys
yesterday. *Any suggestions??
