Problem with Quote/Speechmarks Key
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with an English/Arabic keypad. When I type
the quote - which sits two keys along from L - I should be able to get double quotes if I press the shift key, or a single quote if I press the key on its own. There is also an Arabic option - not sure what letter but I don't use that. Instead, what happens is that when I press shift with the quote key, they appear twice, so I always have to go back and delete one of the quote symbols. Extremely annoying. The same happens with the single quote symbols. Why does this happen and how can I fix it? |

Problem with Quote/Speechmarks Key
What keyboard is activated in Windows? Maybe instead of US English or
UK English, you're using one that uses the apostrophe key as a dead key for triggering accents or (Arabic) vowel pointing, or some such. Not a Word question, though.
