Hello, I am afraid that you have changed accidentally the keyboard layout, but it has nothing to do with OpenOffice. All you have to do is to switch again to the Danish layout for OpenOffice.org. You can do that either by activating the language toolbar (right click on the start bar and select it) and then select Danish, or by discovering what the combination of keys to toggle layout is (usually both alt keys simultaneously) and press it again. You can find out what the keys combination is selecting the keyboard icon from the control panel. I do not have WinXP installed at present so I cannot be of any more help. Good luck, Michele --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
