how to set bilingual keyboard?

[betababy]

We have just installed windows XP,although I have set-up and use bilingual
key boards in the past, this isn't working for me, I want my default to be
English with the ability to toggle to French as needed. It doesn't seem to
toggle properly and at one point the only way for me to get the "@" was in
French. Can anyone help me?

Hi betababy ,

This newsgroup is specifically for matters dealing with Microsoft Project.
I suggest you try to find a more appropriate newsgroup that deals with
keyboard problems.

Could you please tell us what led you to chose this newsgroup? We would
really like to know!

Don't know about downgrading to WinXP, but in KDE here's a great article
about just that. I do it all the time, as I write in English, German and
Spanish on a daily basis...

In MS Project you can do characters, by typing various keystrokes. Don't
know about the French characters, but an accent is [CTRL] + ' + [letter].
I think French has a grave, right? That would be [ctrl] + 6 + e.

Here's a screen shot of my system...
