My husband was told in an email to hit alt 8 while in the email (he uses OE 6
on windows xp home edition sp2). Why did he do this? Who knows, but now
when he types anything on his computer, things get all jumbled and jarbled.
Here are some examples of what happens:

type f and a semicolon gets inserted in front of the f

type g and an apostropy is inserted in front of the g

type an n and it inserts itself in front of the letter typed previously

type p and an r automatically inserts itself right after the p. When the r
is typed, the p inserts itself in front of it. (sort of reminds me of cell
phone predictive texting)

Anyway, this is very frustrating as it pretty much stops him from playing on
his own computer and hogs mine. Can someone PLEASE help me? I checked out
the character directory in programs/accessories but could not find anything
related to alt8. I just know he did something really easy to fix, but for
the life of me I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for your help.
