You have probably enabled a UK keyboard layout.

I managed to get something other than what I typed one evening. Artemis, a
lovely blonde tabby, thought I needed help with my keyboarding skills late one evening. She was sitting on my lap while I was surfing at about 3 a.m. I had a cup of milk and when I went to take a sip, she tried to convince me that she would like a sip also. It didn't take much of that milk "remap" my keyboard. (I went out the next day and purchased another keyboard.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Hi Suzanne
It's the UK layout that I need - I'm posting from Britain. I suspect then that I have the US layout. Do you know how I can change it? I've had a look in Regional Settings but I can't see anything useful. -- Many thanks JD "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You have probably enabled a UK keyboard layout. -- Suzanne S.

What a nightmare! That's why my three cats are banned from my office when I'm
working. And because their fur builds up inside the pc box after a time. They have to be satisfied with attention when I'm done with work. I think my problem has more to do with configuration. They keyboard is new-ish. -- Many thanks JD "JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]" wrote: I managed to get something other than what I typed one evening.

Hi Jackie,
In Regional Settings, go to the Languages tab and click the Details button. That gets you to the dialog where you can choose the keyboard layout to use. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sat, 19 Nov 2005 01:22:02 -0800, "Jackie D" wrote: Hi Suzanne It's the UK layout that I need - I'm posting from Britain.

I see Jay has helped you. Sorry for the bum steer: I looked at your message
header, saw GMT -8 and figured you were in the Pacific time zone, forgetting that you were posting through the Communities; of course Microsoft's server is in the Pacific time zone! -- Suzanne S.

I don't have a fur problem with my cats. I have the
head-butting-hitting-the-wrong-keys problem. I can live with that. =^..^= -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Jackie D" wrote in message ... What a nightmare!
