For some unknown reason the keys on the keyboard dont all correspond with
whats printing out on the screen - i.e. the " should be above the 2, but is
actually on the '@ key and vice versa. I have no idea how to remap the
keyboard, can anybody help or point me in the right direction please? thanks

It's not an Office thing - it's in your Regional settings in Control Panel

Hi Carol,

In Windows XP Control Panel, in Tegional and Language Settings,
choose [Customize] on the 'Languages' Tab, clcik on details.

Then set the Keyboard and Input Language to the country of choice.

In Start=>Programs=>Microsoft Office=>Microsoft Office Tools
check the Language Settings tool to see which English locales have been set.

*Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends*

This is usually caused by Regional and Language settings in control
panel.

Navigate to Control Panel -> Regional and Language options -> Click on
Languages tab.

Click on Details button under "Text services and input languages".
Choose the required country and set it as your default. e.g. Canada and
US keyboards have @ on 2 and " on ' key. UK keyboards have vice versa.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
