what operating system. if its linux or osx what keyboard do you have selected
on the system.  Just guessing as you didn't give us much info.. Fred

First I'm sending this (above, from Fred Moore) on to the OP who is not registered and so won't have seen the original.

Second, assuming Windows, it sounds like you have your physical keyboard and OO's idea of your "locale" switched.

On my UK keyboard, the double quote " is above the 2 and the at sign @ is above the single quote '. In OO my locale is set to UK.

You can set the locale in OO via Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages and then picking a locale from the list on the right. You may need to restart OO or even reboot the system for this to take effect.

You also need to make sure your locale is set correctly in Windows. Look in Control Panel>Regional & Language Options. If you change it here you will almost certainly need to reboot the system for the change to take effect.
