Hi All!

Can't remember how to put the @ key where it should be on her new laptop. Guess it's set for USA use!

Thanks for reminding me what to do!!

VB

    What OS?

    And the @ will be where the " is. They are just swapped around.

    W7:

    Start ->
    Control Panel ->
    Change keyboards or other input methods ->
    Change Keyboards ->
    Change to UK as Default.

    Hi

    You could use the alt key code

    So hold down alt then type 64 (on number pad) and then you will get @.

    I use alt keys alot at work especially to get fractions can't stand seeing something saying 5.5 rather have 5½

    Here is where you can get a list

    Kind wishes
