You have somehow enabled an international keyboard layout. Go to Control
Panel | Regional Options | Input Locales or Control Panel | Keyboard | Input Locales (or the equivalent in your version of Windows) and select the correct language for the keyboard. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you. I am using Windows XP, and my langauge setting is
English(Australian). My Keyboard setting is Ünited States - International" (as you can see it is still making the special character). However I am using a Belkin Wireless keyboard, and Windows is still using the Microsoft Standard 101/102 Keyboard driver, even though I have loaded the Belkin driver several times. Should I be forcing a different driver somehow? Lyn "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You have somehow enabled an international keyboard layout.

The "United States - International" setting is the problem. You need to find
some setting that doesn't include "International." I'm using Windows 2000, which has somewhat different settings, so I can't advise you more specifically, but the only place I find "United States - International" is if I check the box for "Keyboard Layout/IME" on the "Add Input Language" dialog that I get by clicking Add in the Text Services dialog, which I get to by clicking Change on the Input Locales tab of Keyboard Properties or Regional Options. -- Suzanne S.

I am having a similar problem, except the situation comes and goes...
sometimes the quote appears when I press the key, sometimes not. Could this be a hardware issue, or are there possibly some hidden keystrokes I'm mindlessly doing to enable/disable something?? thanks. "Suzanne S.

Oh, one more thing... It not only happens in word, but also in excel and even
in notepad... This is an XP system. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The "United States - International" setting is the problem. You need to find some setting that doesn't include "International."

You're evidently toggling between keyboard settings.

The need to enter a space after Quotes in word
Hi Suzanne,
I am working with a professor having a similar issue, and he has his language set to English (International). When he types a quotation mark, or a single quote, he must type it twice and then delete one of them to make the mark display. He says he needs to use that language - so the question is, if he needs this language, is there no other solution to his problem than to type twice and delete one? Thanks so much!

Thank you very much for responding, Graham. Does this mean, if he wants to
continue using English (International), he'd have to switch to another language whenever he wanted to type quotation marks, and then switch back to continue his document in English (International)?
