As stated before, go to the Customize Keyboard dialog (Tools | Customize:
Keyboard), select a command at random, and enter Shift+2 as the keyboard
shortcut. Then look to see what "Currently assigned to" gives as the current
assignment. You can then go to that command (whatever it is) and unassign
it.
Note, however, that these instructions are for Word. If the problem occurs
only in Outlook (as earlier posts seem to indicate), then you should be
posting in an Outlook newsgroup rather than here.

I don't manage to find the way to do that on my PC. Could you guide me
through it step by step? I work on Windows XP. Thank you very much!

Did you check on the shortcut key assignment for Shift+2 as suggested?

Hi Suzanne
In the meantime I have also contacted Logitech, the company whose
keyboard
I
have. I did a test with them and they say it is clearly a problem that
is
connected with Microsoft only (the @symbol works in all the other
applications) and that I need Microsoft's assistance to solve it. So
it
cannot be a keyboard issue.
Please continue to help me! Thanks!!

I can't imagine why you would use Ctrl+Alt+2 when the @ is a shifted
2.
Occasionally users will inadvertently enable a different keyboard
and
get an
apostrophe in place of @ and vice versa, but that doesn't seem to be
the
issue here. Can you type a 2? If not, it may be a keyboard issue.
How
are
you producing @ in these messages? Does the problem occur only in
Word?
If
so, go to the Customize Keyboard dialog, select a command at random,
and
enter Shift+2 as the keyboard shortcut. Then look to see what
"Currently
assigned to" gives as the current assignment. You can then go to
that
command (whatever it is) and unassign it.

I usually create the @symbol with Ctrl+Alt+2, tried also Shift+2
or
Ctrl+2,
nothing happens. the @ is on the no. 2 button.
