When using word 2004 for mac, the onscreen keyboard viewer refuses to

text edit, a web browser, or any other application shows an updated

does anyone know if this is a common issue, and how to fix it?

Not just English. US English!
It *is* a common issue.
I know of no fix.

Note that the keyboard stays in the chosen language, it is only the
viewer that goes neo-colonialist imperialist aggressor on you.
The work around is to click on the desktop to get your viewer in the
right language, then back to Word, then type the real key suggested by
the viewer.

It is a plot by the Department of Homeland Security to collect all ten
of your fingerprints without you flying through a US airport.

OK, I'm only joking. It is nothing more than evidence of the shoddy
quality of the current Microsoft Office.

One hopes, as usual, that the new one will fix more bugs than it
creates. It becomes tiring listening to the misanthropes who assert it
is a conscious business decision to do the opposite.

thanks,
there is one other thing though. The version I am using was a student-
teacher version.
On a different computer I have the full professional version
installed, and there doesn't seem to be any issue with the keyboard
viewer. Also, the other computer is a pre-intel imac, while the
problem is on a new intel imac. Do you think the version of word is
making a difference, or the type of computer?

thanks
