Keyboard Language Problems

[Guest Daniel]

Hello all,

 

I am running WinXp (updated and all) w/ Office 2003 (updated as well). I

have my pc set so that I can switch between an English and French Keyboard.

This has been functional for 3+ yrs and always worked perfectly.

 

Recently, about 1 week now, when I switch to French my Keyboard

configuration has changed and to me it seems to be greek pulling letters

such as beta, capa,...? I don't know if this coincedental, but it is right

around when I performed several updates both to windows and Office (SP3 +

Hotfixes)??? Are there any known issues, and more importantly, any remedies

to this issue?

 

Thank you!

I would remove the French keyboard map, reboot, then re-install it.

By the way, I think you're a brave man using both an English and

a French keyboard. The French version has to be seen to be believed!

Have you ever tried the Canadian(French) version?
