I am writing to ask if anyone can give me some idea why some Microsoft
applications are experiencing some weird keyboard behavior.
Randomly, the " and @ symbols on my keyboard will exchange places. In other
words, I have to push SHIFT+2 to get the " sign and 'SHIFT+' in order to get
the @ sign.
This affects MSWord and MSPowerpoint. (I am using Office 2000). I use
Netscape for email and this behavior doesn't affect that program, nor does
it affect MSExcel. Once it starts in one MS app, it will be the same in
other. I am therefore certain something is happening within these MS apps
to cause this, though I'm not sure if it's in Word or Powerpoint.
It seems that once this has started within a particular document or
presentation, it will recur at some time when that file is opened again,
though not necessarily when the file is first opened.
I have replaced the keyboard on the affected computer, but the problem
started recurring several days later.
I would appreciate any direction on this that can be provided.
