For some language combinations Windows may use a different shortcut (such as Ctrl+Spacebar), and it is possible that a different shortcut than these was specified by a previous user of your system
You should remember, however, that the Alt+Shift shortcut may not work on all systems. The solution is to press the shortcut again so that you return to the language configuration you want to use. If you press this shortcut inadvertently, you can find yourself typing in a language you didn't intend. On most systems this is instigated by pressing Alt+Shift. When there are multiple languages installed in the operating system, the system provides a way to easily switch between the languages. For instance, it is not unusual to have both English and French installed on a given system (this may happen when the user is in a country-such as Canada-that has two dominant languages). Windows systems can have multiple language configurations installed on them.
In all likelihood, this problem needs to be addressed in both the operating system and in Word. The only way she knows to stop it is to close the document and open it again. All of the keys seem to be remapped to the foreign language and Erica doesn't understand why. For example, without warning when she presses the question mark, she'll get an "e" with an accent, and the "~" (tilde) produces a "#".
Erica wonders why Word all of a sudden changes the keys to "foreign" lettering.
