Keyboard Language Problems

[Daniel]

Hello all,

I am running WinXp (updated and all) w/ Office 2003 (updated as well). I
have my pc set so that I can switch between an English and French Keyboard.
This has been functional for 3+ yrs and always worked perfectly.

Recently, about 1 week now, when I switch to French my Keyboard
configuration has changed and to me it seems to be greek pulling letters
such as beta, capa,...? I don't know if this coincedental, but it is right
around when I performed several updates both to windows and Office (SP3 +
Hotfixes)??? Are there any known issues, and more importantly, any remedies
to this issue?

Thank you!

I would remove the French keyboard map, reboot, then re-install it.
By the way, I think you're a brave man using both an English and
a French keyboard. The French version has to be seen to be believed!
Have you ever tried the Canadian(French) version?
