Re: SOLVED-left/right arrow keys don't work in Office 2003

I figured out what I did to cause my left/right arrow keys not to work all of
a sudden. I was experimenting with the speech tools of the language bar the
other day. I remember that I made some changes in the settings that would
allow the left/right arrow keys to act as toggle keys when I used the speech
recognition software.

The changes I made affected EVERYTHING related to Microsoft Office as well
as Internet Explorer. I didn't realize that the language bar settings would
be in effect regardless of whether or not I was actually using the language
bar or even had the language bar turned on. So now the problem is resolved.
I am going to post my findings on a couple of forums that I use.

Thank you for all of your help.
