Scrambled characters

I just installed Publisher 2003. When I try to type in a text box the
characters are scrambled and not what I type. For example, this is the
small case alphabet:
Axje.uidchtnmbrl’poygk,qf;
I reinstalled but this did not help. Any fixes to this?
I have also noticed it does the same thing now in IE.

Have you tried a different keyboard? I had one that did that - right after I
splashed milk in the keyboard.

Check the keyboard icon in the lower-right corner of your screen, to the
left of the system tray. It may have been changed to a different layout.

I do not have a keyboard icon. running ms2000 with sp4.

In that case, it may be IN your system tray.

A blue square with two capital letters in. They should be "EN".

I recycled the keyboard/language and now it is AOK. Thanks, Tony
P.S. I think something may have been upset when I was trying to use the
write anywhere feature and the "ink" feature. Never did get those to work.
