A week ago I briefly changed (via Control Panel) my Windows XP keyboard
choices to offer both English (U.S.) and French (France) keyboards, and the Language Bar. I quickly changed back to only English, deleted the French keyboard alternative, and deleted the Language Bar. Today in my Word 2003 session, the double-quote key (Shift+Quote key) keeps spontaneously changing to type a French quote mark ("sideways-chevron" with a required space). If I look in Word's Tools Language, it shows I'm in French (France) language. I have switched the default back to English (U.S.) via Tools Language several times, but it immediately switches back to French. Looking in my Windows languages/keyboards, I am only mapped to the English (U.S.) keyboard. Any ideas how to correct this? Thanks! |

If you have not already done so, clear the check box for "Automatically
detect language" in Tools | Language | Set Language in Word, and see http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm -- Suzanne S.

The link to cindymeister Web site was particularly helpful and good info.
Clearing the check box for "Automatically Detect Language" did not initially help. However, I eventually figured out that the problem seemed to be in one particular document - outside of the document, I was OK. I may have inadvertently switched keyboards when I fumbled typing in that document - I may have hit the keystrokes for switching keyboards. I have turned off the keyboard shortcut for that feature. Thanks! I'm also leaving the language check boxes unchecked as recommended. "Suzanne S.
