Hi Marie, follow Joan Anns solution and it should work correctly for you. Stay away from the "altGR key". This key is used nowadays for creating extra keyboard shortcuts.

He has a Sony Vaio 1.2 ghz VGN-TX3XP. After he presses the alt gr key Jaws starts to act funny in MS Word. For example, in word after he presses the alt gr key and i to insert a foreign character, Jaws says overtype mode active. Can anyone help as it is very frustrating for him.
