Windows – Why won’t Alt+Shift switch languages in Microsoft Word

keyboardlanguagemicrosoft wordmicrosoft-officewindows

I have Windows 7 RTM, Office 2007 SP1, and a computer with English and Hebrew languages installed. In most programs (e.g. notepad), Left Alt+Shift switches from Hebrew to English and vice versa.

In Word, it also usually works, but sometimes pressing Left Alt+Shift just won't do anything.

Is this a bug in Windows? Word?

Best Answer

I had the same problem but then I found out that in Windows keyboard settings I've added another keyboad (Serbian) under English (United States), and not beside it. So I vent and set it all up again the right way and now it works. So instead of:

English (United States)

  • Keyboard

    • US
    • Serbian (Latin)

Now I have:

English (United States)

  • Keyboard

    • US

Serbian (Latin)

  • Keyboard

    • Serbian (Latin)
