Why are the symbols on my keyboard showing up as French letters when I type them into Word 2007?

Question

My dad was typing a document in Word 2007, and part way through, he must have typed something weird and made the symbol buttons on the keyboard (?,.;'[]\) show up as French letters (ex. a with an accent over it). Does anyone know what happened, and how can we fix it?

Answer 1

under the tool settings of ms word change your language settings or under control panel look under regional and language

Answer 2

In Japan, we use Latin-based keyboards with Hiragana on them, so letter keys have both alphabets and Hiragana. (i.e. Alphabet "A" and Hiragana "ち" are in the same letter key.) The majority of Japanese people type the Japanese words using the Latin alphabets on the keyboard, and the program automatically converts it into Hiragana. If it is the right character, we press [Enter] to confirm it. If what is displayed is not the correct one, we press [Space bar] and will see the list of the characters (several kinds of kanji and katakana). In order to select a character, we either click on the character or press the number of the character on the keyboard. This process is the same for those who use Hiragana on their keyboards. Compared to Latin-alphabet countries, we have additional works to display our language on the screen! Note: The Japanese language is written with a combination of three different types of glyphs: kanji (there are about 50,000 kanji but about 2,000 are mainly used in daily life.), hiragana (46 cases), and katakana (46 cases).
