My EX110 keyboard seems to have switched to a UK layout. Shift-3 gives the " symbol; shift-" gives the @ symbol; shift- number sumbol gives the £ symbol. How do I switch it back to North American??? Andrew Reid

Depending on your localisation it could be in several different places. The # key is [Shift]+[3] on most Macs. On PCs it's usually located next to the [Return] "Enter button" key under the ( ] / } ) key and above the Right [Shift] key. The key you're looking for is [# / ~]. If that doesn't help look at these and if they don't help try changing your localisation settings for your keyboard (Control Panel > Keyboard & Layout settings)


In case you're using a external apple keyboard here's a link with more info:

If not use this one:

This is caused by how your keyboard layout is recognised by the program. Most programs use the windows set layout.

For example, in the US, shift-2 on keyboards is @ but in the UK, shift-2 is a speechmark, ".

To fix this, just go to Tools, Options, Language Tab

Change the Default Encoding to what you think it should be.

If you're in the US, try the US-ASCII setting.

Restart the program, and that should help.

You may have the wrong keyboard layout loaded.

If it's not Shift and the key with the @ symbol on it then it may be the Shift and the number 2 key with the quote symbol on it on the top row of number keys.

It can be changed to US if it's on UK or Uk if it's on US.

Depends which operating system you have. Do a search in Google for "changing keyboard layout"

Sounds like your keyboard in in UK mode, but is labeled for US. Or the other way.
In a UK keyboard, Shift+' (the key which is two spaces to the right of "L") should give you an @ sign.
Depending on your Operating System, you can use the CONTROL PANEL and REGIONAL SETTINGS to set the keyboard to be a USA keyboard, and then Shift+2 will give you an @ sign.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout is a good reference for keyboard layouts.

This is because it is set to US english keyboard layout rather than UK English layout.

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Keyboard

and change the language settings

you are using a usa keyboard.
if you want to use the uk keyboard layout change the regional settings, go to languages and there is an option to change the keyboard.
uk keyboard will print " when pressing shift+2

This is because it is set to US english keyboard layout rather than UK English layout.

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Keyboard

and change the language settings...

you may have the keyboard settings to a different 'language' an american layout keyboard is set to have the @ sign as "shift + 2" (whereas the U.K layout would give " for Shift + 2) and vice-versa!

to change the regional settings of your keyboard, (on Xp)

• Control Panel
• Regional And Language Options
  

Under Languages (Second Tab) Click on DETAILS, then this will bring up another window.

Select your default input language as either ENGLISH (U.K) OR ENGLISH (U.S)

Hope this solves the issue!!

sorry if it sounds confusing!

The difference in the @ and " symbols occurs between US and UK keyboards, where UK keyboards have the " symbol on the "2" key and US keyboards have the @ symbol on the "2" key.

Regardless of what physical drawing you have on the keyboard, you can change the actions of the keys by setting up the appropriate US or UK keyboard layout in Windows.

First, determine whether you'd prefer a US or a UK layout. In the US layout, pressing SHIFT+2 will write @. In the UK layout, pressing it will write ".

Now, from the Start menu, select Settings and go to Control Panel. Once there, search for "Regional and Language Options". Under the "Languages" tab there is a button labeled "Details". Press it, and a new window opens with the keyboard layouts. Use the "Add" button to select the keyboard layout you want (English, US or UK, Qwerty - not Dvorak), then Remove your old keyboard layout. Press OK and exit all the screens, you're done.

Hope this helps.

YOU HAVE TO GO INTO KEYBOARD AND FIND THE SETTINGS FOR KEYS IN CONTROL PANNEL . SET IT AS ENGLISH.
