A friend has a fault on his keyboard. If he wants @ he has to use " (shift

And the fault is? That is how most keyboards operate, at least US versions.

And this has what to do with page layout in the Word program?

It sounds as if your friend is using a UK keyboard with a US keyboard
layout. He needs to change this in Control Panel | Regional Options or
Control Panel | Keyboard.

He has his keyboard set up as US instead of UK. Alt+Left Shift will probably
switch back to UK keyboard. If not, ...

Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab
Click on Details and configure as wanted

fault is there
Any ideas?

The regional settings may be correctly set at UK English, but the keyboard
layout isn't set for the keyboard pattern in use. Under Regional & Language
Options > languages > details and check the keyboard mapping is set for UK
English (or whatever layout the user really has).
