How do I stop character replacement?
Whenever I try to type certain characters (such as "?"), Microsoft Word
automatically places different onces (such as "É") in their place instead. Closing and re-opening the program doesn't seem to make it go away; it only started happening today. The problem only persists when typing in Microsoft Word and no other programs so I don't think it's my PC's universal keyboard settings. Did I activate some sort of hidden Microsoft Word keymap replacement macro, or something of the like? How do I revert it so I can type typical characters normally like before? |

How do I stop character replacement?
Three possibilities immediately spring to mind
1. It really is the keyboard mapping - check Windows Regional settings to ensure you are using the correct keyboard pattern for your keyboard. 2. You have activated an autocorrect option in Word 3. You are using some obscure font. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org B.Jones wrote: Whenever I try to type certain characters (such as "?"), Microsoft Word automatically places different onces (such as "É") in their place instead.

Regional keyboard settings are fine. I also haven't changed my AutoCorrect
settings to my knowledge. I'm not sure if his helps any, but: the re-mapped keys all seem to be replacing symbol keys ( Such as: { [ ' / ? ) Also, whenever I hit the ' key, it seems to activate some sort of accent mode... e.g., pressing ' + e would make è, or pressing ' + u would make ù, and so on. It doesn't seem to be a toggle-thing though; it has to be pressed before each letter if I want to add the accent. |

It does sound very much as if you have an international keyboard layout
selected. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "B.Jones" wrote in message ... Regional keyboard settings are fine.
