Language and Keyboard Problems
Hi,
I do a lot of typing in Greek and so sometimes I "Set Language" in Word to Greek. I use a different keyboard layout to the standard Greek one (it allows for accents etc.) and I've set this to be the default keyboard for the Greek language on my system. However, when I change the language in Word to Greek it uses the standard keyboard setting, which is not the one I want. I end up constantly having to change it in the Windows language bar. So what I'm asking is: Is there a way to change the default keyboard for a specific language in Microsoft Word 2007? I have tried removing the standard keyboard from my system altogether but Word doesn't like this, abandons the Greek and just starts typing in English! Thanks for any help! |

Language and Keyboard Problems
When you enabled the Greek IME in Windows, did you choose only the
Polytonic keyboard? It's the only one I have turned on, and I've never had a problem. (Not sure how you'd tell it's the "standard" vs. the polytonic, since the polytonic uses the same keystroke for the undifferentiated accent of Modern Greek that the usual keyboard does.) How do you switch to Greek? The way to do it is to leave the cursor in the text where you want to type Greek, go to the language icon near the right end of the taskbar, and choose EL instead of EN. Then when you click back in the document, you'll be typing in Greek, until you switch back to English.

Language and Keyboard Problems
You can associate any keyboard layout with any language from the Windows
regional settings. If you have multiple input languages then right click the Language button on the Windows taskbar and choose settings. Set the appropriate keyboard for each language. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Ambrosia247" wrote in message ...
