Language bar problem
I have MS Word 2002 installed on my Windows XP Home SP2. I use switch
between English and Cyrillic keyboards, which worked fine for some time in all applications - Word, Outlook Express, etc.. However, recently, the switch (Left Alt+Shift) stopped to work in Word, although it continue to work in all other applications. In Word, I still can switch between keyboards manually, by clicking on a language icon and choosing language. How can I restore the switch in Word? -- Ilya Zeldes Fort Myers, Florida |

Hi Ilyaz,
If you go into Tools/Customize, click on Keyboard, click in the "press key combination" box, then use the language switching keyboard shortcut that's not working in Word... Do you see [unassigned] below the box, or has it been assigned to a command? If it's been assigned to something in Word, Find that something in the lists at the top. Click on the entry. ou should see the keyboard combination in the list at the mid-left. Click on that, then click "Remove". I have MS Word 2002 installed on my Windows XP Home SP2.

Cindy,
thanks a lot for your suggestion. I followed your instructions. Clicking in press new shortcut key produced nothing. I looked through many of the key combinations there, but found no Left Shift+Alt, which I use to toggle. Moreover, I was unable to find the toggle in the list of Commands. In the Categories, there is Tools, and in the Commands, there is ToolsLanguage. Description of this combination says Changes the language formatting of the selected characters, but there is no key combination assigned and pressing my combination produces nothing. What do I do now? Your assistance is appreciated. Ilya "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote in message news:VA.0000a74b.0077849e@speedy...

Hi Ilyaz,
Clicking in press new shortcut key produced nothing. If there wasn't any previous assignment, here, then I don't know what may be blocking the shortcut on your system. Sorry.

Did you actually press Left Shift+Alt in the press new shortcut key box?
If I press Alt+Shift+Left Arrow (which is how I interpret your combination), I see OutlinePromote as the command to which this is assigned. I see you originally said Left Alt+Shift, which is something different. For this you will not see anything because Alt and Shift are merely combination keys; without the addition of any other keys, they should not accomplish anything. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
finally I got you involved ;-)) The Left Alt+Shift is a toggle, which is set up in the Control Panel Regional and Language Options. This means that the Alt and Shift keys on the left side of a keyboard are used to toggle between two languages. As I mentioned it in my previous post, nothing happens when I press this Left Shift+Alt combination in the Word Tools Customize Keyboard Press new.... In this window, I tried many other combinations with Alt+ and Ctrl+ something. All work fine. But I'm limited to this toggle Left Shift+Alt set up in the Control Panel... Looks like catch 22 to me. Moreover, in the Commands, there is a combination Alt+X for ToggleCharacterCpde. But it didn't work either... Regards, Ilya "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Yes, of course, but neither works in Word! Either toggle works in all other
applications, Outlook Express, browser, MS Publisher, you name it. Isn't it a mystery? Regards, Ilya "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

According to Word's Help:
Switch keyboard layouts Do one of the following: * If the Language bar is visible On the Language bar, click the keyboard layout indicator [icon], and then click the layout you want. The letters on the indicator change to reflect the language of the keyboard. * If the Language bar is not visible On the Microsoft Windows taskbar, click the keyboard layout indicator [icon], and then click the layout you want. The letters on the indicator change to reflect the language of the keyboard. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
the Language bar is visible and when I work in the Word, I click the keyboard layout icon and then click on the layout I want. I call it a manual switch and this is the only way I can toggle in Word. In all other applications, the "automatic" toggle Left Shift+Alt works... What bothers me is why this toggle works in other applications, but does not work in Word? How to make it "universal"? That is the question... Ilya. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Hi Ilyaz,
In all other applications, the "automatic" toggle Left Shift+Alt works... What bothers me is why this toggle works in other applications, but does not work in Word? FWIW, it works here - only all too well. I keep turning it off in Windows, but something like to keep turning it back on... have you tried changing the shortcut in Windows to something else?

Another way - as many Russian-speaking people do (and me) - just follow
MS advice and DISable Language Bar - now we switch - in all programs- with one (handy!) button - right Ctrl: http:// RusWin.net/LangBar.htm -- Regards, Paul Gorodyansky "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": http://RusWin.net Russian On-screen Keyboard: http://Kbd.RusWin.net |

Paul,
you probably do not remember, but a few years ago, when I was running Windows 98 or 95, you suggested RusLat and guided me through the procedure. It worked fine then. However, eventually I run into some problems using this code and switching from Word to Publisher and some other programs. Now I have Win XP Home SP2, Word 2002 SP3, Office XP 2002 Prof, Publisher 2003 and MS Proofing Tools installed on my machine. After the last installation (MS Proofing Tools 2003), the toggle of Language Bar worked just fine in all programs, including Word, Publisher, Outlook Express, etc. Then, at some point, something happened and the toggle stopped in Word, but continue to work fine in all other programs. I tried to "Turn off advanced text services", but it didn't help with the toggle. I hope there is a fix for this toggle (chort vozmi, on zhe rabotal snachala!) and you may help me. I looked on your web site, but could not find the solution... Regards, Ilya wrote in message oups.com...

Hello!
In Russian forums it's an often complaint - about Language Bar - and the solutions are listed on that page I gave a link to in my previous e-mail (it's a collection of solutions form severla Russian forums), where the most common one is to turn Language Bar "off" - completely - and use 3rd party language indicator/switch - RusLat or other (there are many of them). RusLat 2.30 works just fine for me and others under XP and 2000. -- Regards, Paul Gorodyansky "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": http://RusWin.net Russian On-screen Keyboard: http://Kbd.RusWin.net |

Thank you, Paul, for your suggestion.
Yesterday, I run MS Proofing Tools 2003 repair and changed the key combination to Ctrl+Shift, but did not turn the Language Bar on. Now, the toggle works, but I cannot see what language is on at the moment until I start to type. Big inconvenience... If it will cause too much of a trouble, I probably will try RusLat. Thanks again for your help. Ilya wrote in message oups.com... Hello! In Russian forums it's an often complaint - about Language Bar - and the solutions are listed on that page I gave a link to in my previous e-mail (it's a collection of solutions form severla Russian forums), where the most common one is to turn Language Bar "off" - completely - and use 3rd party language indicator/switch - RusLat or other (there are many of them). RusLat 2.30 works just fine for me and others under XP and 2000. -- Regards, Paul Gorodyansky "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": http://RusWin.net Russian On-screen Keyboard: http://Kbd.RusWin.net |

Hi Ilyaz,
what "shortcut in Windows" do you have in mind? Control Panel/Regional settings/Language/Details. Look at the bottom of the dialog box, you should see something about Keysettings. You can define key shortcuts in here for specific languages, as well as the toggle.

Thank you, Cindy. As I said in my previous post, I reinstalled (repaired) MS
Proofing Tools and now I have the toggle working, but without icon :-( Thanks for your help. Ilya "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote in message news:VA.0000a795.006522ee@speedy...
