How to release stuck keys.
Are the keys literally stuck or is it that you just don't have anything show
up in /word? The first is *not* a Word issue. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Brockville" wrote in message ... How do you unfreeze`stuck keys on the keyboard? I can't type in any letters. |

How to release stuck keys.
You look, and feel if necessary, around the edges of the keyboard until
you locate an electrical cord. You follow it away from the keyboard along the cord's length. The far end should be plugged into a socket on the computer case. If it is not, then locate the female plug and insert it into that socket. Be aware that you might have to rotate the plug until the pins line up with the holes. Using moderate pressure, assure that it is seated into the connector. You might have to restart the computer. If the keyboard plug is attached, try gently removing the plug, examine it and the socket for damage, and reinsert it. Again, you might have to restart the computer. If, by chance, you refer to a keyboard whose keys are literally stuck because of something spilled on it or some other misadventure, it is best to purchase a replacement keyboard. To test, try plugging the keyboard into a similar computer. If it was working earlier and has become unresponsive, try turning it off and then restarting it.

I presume that you are trying to tell us that you cannot type into Word
2007? Either you have failed to activate the product or you received a trial version with a new computer that has now expired - in which case you need to purchase the full version and enter the product key to get it working again? -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Brockville" wrote in message ...

How to release stuck keys.
I would have suggested the washing machine but the dishwasher *would* be
better. The spin cycle wreaks havoc on the keys. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

I was a bit worried about the lettering as well. The dishwasher on Glass
cycle should preserve the text. Terry "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... I would have suggested the washing machine but the dishwasher *would* be better.
