language/keyboard configuration problem
I'm running Office 2000. When I open Word it functions properly for a few
minutes, but then suddenly seems to switch over to a different keyboard configuration, replacing the symbol = with ? for example. When I close Word and reopen, it functions properly for a while but then reverts again. I've tried uninstalling - reinstalling several times and it doesn't help. I think the problem has to do with the fact that my operating system - Windows XP - is in Spanish and Office is in English, and of course my keyboard configuration is Spanish, but I don't understand why it suddenly decides to switch over all by itself and how I can prevent it from doing this. Any ideas, suggestions appreciated. Thanks, RSC |

Unfortunately, in Office 2000, the language is determined by the Keyboard
Language setting in the Control panel (well thought out!) One solution is to have two keyboards, one English and one Spanish and switch User Profiles between the two languages depending on which you want to operate. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "rsc" wrote in message ... : I'm running Office 2000.
