We have installed OpenOffice on my spouse's computer. When we started working with a calc sheet and used letters from the right side of the keyboard, it didn't work. When I pressed m for example it printed 0, when I pressed i it printed 5 and so on. I Then pressed Fn first and then m, and then it printed m. I tried to get rid of the problem, by restarting, closing down, changing sheets and so on, but the problem was still there. Then I thought that something was wrong with our pc so I formatted it and installed all programs and Microsoft's hot fixes again with a lot of extra work. After that the computer worked ok again. Today my spouse needed to use an excel sheet and as we don't want to buy Microsoft's expensive program I decided to download Open Office to his computer again. Download was ok and it was ok to start working with a calc sheet again. After sometime the same problem accured again. As I haven't done any other downloads or changed anything, I'm sure that this problem arose when we started using OpenOffice, calc sheet. I can still not get rid of the problem. What to do? I really don't want to format the pc again. Can you please help me? Best regards Annalisa Hedberg ahklisa@gmail.com
Hi Annalisa, Based on your description this really seems like a laptop behaviour when certain function keys are pressed/activated. I know, because I recognize this problem very well. Probably the Num lock key has been pressed, or any other key. You don't have to reinstall the computer, you just have to find out how your computer works. In any way, this is most probably not an OpenOffice.org issue, which is why I will close it. If you still feel that you have this problem, contact the pc manufacturer. If you reply to this issue, please continue to do so in English. Best Regards Per Eriksson
