I am using MS Office Word 2003. I have my keyboard set for English. When I
strike the shift and quotation mark nothing appears on the screen until I hit
the space bar. If the letter a follows the qoutation mark in the text it
automatically inserts an umlaut, or German symbol, over the a. How can I get
the program to display a qoutation mark as it should with an English keyboard?

You may think your keyboard is set for English, but it really sounds like it
isn't. Double-check--and ask in a Windows group if no one else chimes in as
this would be a system setting rather than a Word setting.
