What am I doing that is causing my key mapping to change?

[jbkenney]

I'm working in Word, and all of a sudden, my / key types -, - types +, ; is
ae and ' is an o with a strike through it. I'm sure there's some key
combination I'm hitting that turns this "feature" on, but for the life of me,
I can't identify it. Help?

You've enabled some different keyboard layout. Look in the Regional Language
Options dialog in Control Panel for more information.

You can cycle through whichever languages or keyboards are installed
(see Suzanne's answer) with LeftAlt-Shift (which you probably hit
accidentally at some point).
