Excel 2007 Keyboard does not type what I enter
I figure it has to do with something about regions or something like that,
but when I type a . (period) I get a . (period), but when I type a (greater than) I still get a . (period). Also when I type other keys, I get the wrong things, such as é when I type a / Only Excel is acting like this, none of the other Office apps are doing it. So I figure it has to do with a default language or location, but I don't know where to look. Can anyone help me?? |

Jim, the link works fine for me, and even though I am running Vista, the
article answered the question, put me in the correct spot to fix it. I am Canadian, and in the regional settings it also added the French Canadian keyboard layouts. Somehow, and I still don't know how, Excel was looking at the french layout, and the rest of the office progams used the english. Anyway, I just removed the alternate keyboard layouts, and Excel is working properly for me. Thanks for the tip.
