Alt+ combination ket function lost

Nov 14, 2005 8:35PM PST

Hi,

I daily type letters and e-mails in Swedish and use Alt+0196, Alt+0197 , Alt+0214, Alt+0246, Alt+0228 and Alt+0229 keys very often.

Unfortunately since 4 days ago I have lost the use of these keys. What happens is that when I enter any of these combinations in a Word Document and my e-mails, nothing happens. It seems that the none of these programs respond to these key combinations.
However, I can use them on any online site or forms .

I have looked at the online support and also looked in Word toolbar on the top under Insert/Symbols. I can see that the corresponding shortcut keys are the correct ones but the boxes corresponding to each letter under Shortcut Keys is blank.

Please kindly advise how I can regain the use of these key combinations so I can write in Swedish.

Regards,
Mehran

Need a bit more clarification
Nov 15, 2005 9:36AM PST

Hi,
I could only find the toolbar for Office 2003.
I have Office 2002.
I have downloaded the one for 2003 and installed it and it said Int. Character Toolbar Successfully installed but I could not find it anywhere on Word.
Or am I looking in the wrong place?
Or maybe it was installed but can not be recognised by Word 2002?
Can you please give a bit more advise as how to find the toolbar and how to use it?
Thanks,
Mehran

My mistake

Hi,

I should have advised you before that this toolbar works only with Office 2003. I (wrongly) gave it for granted that you had 2003.

I am sorry I couldn't be of any help to you.

Please forgive me.

Lycka till.
