Thank you. tss It looks like you are looking for so called 'phonetic' or transliterated keyboard layout - 'O'-'O', 'A'-'A', etc. Microsoft does NOT provide such layout at all. It does not provide an utility to prepare one, either. All Microsoft does is to show you a picture of a national non-transliterated layout so you can use it if you don't have a transliterated (phonetic) layout: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/keyboards.asp But there are 3rd party utilities and I made Russian phonetic layout files for Windows (both 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP) - see "Russian Keyboard: standard and phonetic" section of my site. It's a modifyable layout - if you want to replace some letters, you can (explained how at the end of the section). -- Regards, Paul Gorodyansky "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PaulGor/
