Re: In Office 2007 the single quotation mark changes the following

Hi Again, Graham, if the Language/Region is set to UK-English (which is
what I want) then regardless of whether the Keyboard is set to the UK
option or any of the US options, hitting the @ key results in the " and vice
versa.
All other keys seem to work as designated.
Guess I'd better get used to it!

Thanks Graham, I'll try as you say again, although I should mention that was
how I had it set before, it WAS actually typing what is on the keys, but
then from time to time it kept re-setting itself to US-English despite my
setting UK-English as the default normal template. That's in addition to the
peculiar appearance of the e y u i o a and c letters after the ' & " keys.

You can have the Windows regional settings configured to have the input
language as UK English while the keyboard pattern is configured to match
what you have ie US English so that the keys actually type what is on the
key caps.

It seems you have provided the answer! My ThinkPad is of US origin,
but I prefer (& try to use) UK-English. While it allows me to set
UK-English as the normal default, it often resets (itself I think,
though maybe it's something I do!) to US-English. Anyway, I have
just re-set it to UK-English (UK region & language) and apart from "
appearing when I hit the @ key, (& vice versa) everything works
"properly" now.

Many thanks for your help,

Thanks Stefan, I've tried that already, in fact have changed the
keyboard layout only to find the problem persists in different
layouts.

When I hit either quotation mark, single (') or double (")
followed by the
letter keys, the following letters are produced in lower case:
'q 'w é 'r 't ý ú í ó 'p
á 's 'd 'f 'g 'h 'j 'k 'l
'z 'x ç 'v 'b 'n 'm
The q w r t p s d f g h j k l z x v b n m letters are as I want
& expect,
but see how the e y u i o a and c letters have appeared - not as
'normal'
letters.
Likewise upper case letters.

I know if I hit ' or " followed by a space the 'normal' letters
appear.

What's going on, and can I stop (what is to me) this 'abnormality'
happening?
