Problem with Quote/Speechmarks Key

N

Nods

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with an English/Arabic keypad. When I type
the quote - which sits two keys along from L - I should be able to get double
quotes if I press the shift key, or a single quote if I press the key on its
own. There is also an Arabic option - not sure what letter but I don't use
that.

Instead, what happens is that when I press shift with the quote key, they
appear twice, so I always have to go back and delete one of the quote
symbols. Extremely annoying. The same happens with the single quote
symbols. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?

What keyboard is activated in Windows? Maybe instead of US English or
UK English, you're using one that uses the apostrophe key as a dead
key for triggering accents or (Arabic) vowel pointing, or some such.

Not a Word question, though.
