HELP!!! :( Symbol lock/Wrong symbols - Vista
For some strange reason, halfway through my reports i always manage to turn
on some type of character lock. All of a sudden my question marks become "E's" with the two dots ontop, my quote symbols are turned backwards, and my number symbols (!@%$, etc) are turned into some regular random character symbols. I must be accidently hitting some key combination to do this but it's driving me crazy because I don't know how to undo it. I'm constantly forced to cut and paste my entire document into a new word file and continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. |

The "backward quotation marks" suggests that you're switching to a
German keyboard (by pressing LeftAlt+Shift). That combination will cycle you through all the keyboards installed in your Windows. If you don't want that feature, then go to Start Control Panel Regional and Language Options Languages Details and Delete the keyboards under "English" that you don't want, and/or Delete the languages other than English that you don't want.
