Default Keyboard keys of " and @ have transposed. How do I swap them back?

On my keyboard (which I share from time to time with other users) the keys of
@ and " have become accidentally transposed i.e. to type the 'at' symbol I
have to press shift and double quotes, and vice versa. How do I restore the
default, without reinstalling the keyboard (for which I don't have access to
software).

I am using MS Word 2003. Thanks.

It sounds like the keyboard language setup in Windows got switched
from English (US) to English (UK) or vice versa. See
http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm for how to set
it properly. You won't have to reinstall anything.
