How do I get @ in Word Pro 2003. Ctrl-Alt-2 does not work!
Am I missing something here? Why not just use Shift+2 to get the upper
register character - @ ? I can't think of any reason to use a keyboard shortcut for something that can be typed directly.

How do I get @ in Word Pro 2003. Ctrl-Alt-2 does not work!
Off the top of my head I don't know the French Canadian keyboard but I do
know that some keyboards use Ctrl+Alt (or the right Alt key - AltGr) for some 'special' characters. If this is a normal key combination for you that works everywhere except in Word then it is likely that it has been customized in Word - you don't say what it does do. To 'uncustomize it: Press Ctrl+Alt+NumericKeypadPlus The cursor will change to a cloverleaf Press Ctrl+Alt+2 This will bring up the Customize Dialog Under "Current Keys" select Ctrl+Alt+2 Click on "Remove" Click on "Close" -- Enjoy, Tony "rmori7" wrote in message news  I live in Canada and my keybord is set to French-Canada as usual.

How do I get @ in Word Pro 2003. Ctrl-Alt-2 does not work!
The 'official' way to get "@" on a French-Canadian keyboard is AltGr+2. It
is normal for the right Alt key to be mapped to AltGr on non-US keyboards. It is also normal, though not guaranteed, for Ctrl+Left Alt to be equivalent to AltGr. I don't know the actual mechanics of how it works but it is not Word-related. If you see different results in Word from the two key combinations then that is because they are being presented differently to Word from the keyboard and/or the OS. One solution is to explicitly map Ctrl+Left Alt+2 to the "@" symbol as Suzanne explains. -- Enjoy, Tony "rmori7" wrote in message ... Hi, your recipe doesnot work.

How do I get @ in Word Pro 2003. Ctrl-Alt-2 does not work!
(Western) keyboards have three (arguably four) states - each of which
produces a different set of symbols (or graphics). They are unmodified, with Shift modifier, with 'Alternate Graphic' (or AltGr) modifier, and (very occasionally) with Shift and AltGr together, If you are mapping to a keyboard which differs from your physical one and your physical one does not have an AltGr key (for example, a standard US keyboard, I believe) then the right Alt key is usually mapped to AltGr. Generally, but not always, Ctrl+Left Alt has the same effect as AltGr (in your case Right Alt). When it doesn't you must take special action if you want it to be the case. Suzanne has told you how to set up Ctrl+Left Alt+2 as "@" in Word. What more help do you need? -- Enjoy, Tony "rmori7" wrote in message ... What means Gr in AltGr+2?
