Unless you are left-handed and have your mouse setup reversed, you should
not be right-clicking any of these menus, buttons, etc. And note that you
don't have to have a physical printer in order to install a printer driver;
you can pick just any Windows driver for a common printer (usually a
LaserJet is suggested).

Terry,
Tks for your reply.
Last night I also tried System Restore. Used a restore point from
March€¦.no
change. System appears to be running ok€¦Windows Defender and Norton 360
are
always current and scans are clean except for normal cookies detected and
removed.
I borrowed a Cannon Bubble Jet BJ-10e and installed it using the
accompaning
disk. The install was uneventful and the printer is working fine across
all
applications€¦ie Word, Excel, Notepad & IE.
Still having the shortcut key problem. It appears that in Excel 2002, you
can insert symbols and special characters in to your
workbooks/spreadsheets
only by using the insert button. No option exists for shortcut keys. So as
far as Excel is concerned the problem I reported isnt a problem after
all.
But it is a problem within Word. Im wondering why is it that when I:
Open Word,
Right Click €śInsert€ť
Right Click €śSymbol€ť€¦opens the Symbol Character Map Popup
Right Click €śShortcut key..€ť botton [located on the lower line of the
Symbol
Tab adj to Autocorrect button]
I examine each and every character listed. The only four that are working
correctly are Ñ, ñ, Û, û, I set these up about 4 weeks ago so that I can
type
in Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines.
Ă‘ was defined as Ctrl+Shift+N
ñ was defined as Ctrl+n.
Ă› was defined as Ctrl+Shift+U
Ă» was defined as Ctrl+u.
But when If I attempt to change these or any other€¦..the €śAssign€ť button
isnt highlighted. Why isnt it?
The characters Ă‘, ñ, Ă›, Ă»€¦.show up in the €śCurrent Keys€ť field and if I
click the key€¦the €śRemove€ť button is highlighted. So I guess that feature
is
ok.
If I attempt to change one€¦.cant type anything in the input field under
€śpress new shortcut key€ť.
The "Close" button is working fine.
Could my Normal.dot file be bad? I ran detect and repair twice but nothing
has changed. I understand that Word will create a new Normal.dot if it is
missing. Is it possible to download a new Normal.dot and see if that makes
a
difference.
