Default My alpha keys are not working.

I was trying to fill in my expenses for the day on my expense spreadsheet but
I am unable to type any letter (alpha character). My numeric characters are
OK. Example: I type "e", it comes up as "."; "b" comes up as "x"; "c" comes
up as "j"; "d" comes up as "e"; etc. How can I resolve this problem?

Have a look in Tools/ Autocorrect options, and see whether someone has been
playing about with your machine.

Probably a long shot, but the alternative keyboard language settings
can create a real haywire keyboard...
