| 141842 | 2003-05-06 09:56:00 | I have a new Microsoft Office keyboard that works fine except for the quotes ("). In order to get it to work you have to press the key twice -- or follow it up with another key. Just pressing " on its own puts nothing on the screen. I can't see anywhere to change this behaviour. (I'm running XP.) |

| 141843 | 2003-05-06 10:02:00 | hi there i have win XP to and have been told by others and have worked this out by myself ....that you should use the space bar after you use the" " because it changes it to being correct in fount or behind the word. its just the way it is apparently. you actually get used to it if you do a lot of typing ( students and workers etc) does this help? i dont know of any settings to change ot change it either. beetle |

| 141844 | 2003-05-06 10:14:00 | TicToc If I remember correctly it has something to do with the type of keyboard you have selected. Go to Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, select Languages tab and click on Details. I think the keyboard should be English (United States) - US. I might be wrong, but see if that works.

| 141846 | 2003-05-06 10:21:00 | You shouldn't need to settle for that - it's somewhere in the language/keyboard/regional settings, and it can be changed. Mike. |

| 141848 | 2003-05-06 10:44:00 | You want the keyboard to be listed as a US keyboard. Found in regional and language settings. | -=JM=- (16) | ||

| 141850 | 2003-05-06 20:11:00 | > if it aint broke dont fix it But if you're having to add extra keystrokes just to get a " then it is broke :) and yes, that " came from Windows XP - just XP set up properly. To get to the correct tab for setting it, go: Control Panel > Regional and Language Settings > Languages tab > Details Button... make sure your Keyboard is set to "US". Mike. |
