Preliminary remark: my own 1040 has the UK keyboard, but various other
keyboards exist around Europe. Usually, they allow the extra accented
characters by use of the alternate key. Of course, the normal keys are
moved around (QWERZY, AZERTY, etc.). My own word processing needs are
mainly english, but sometimes I need german or french. 1st word will deal
with this, but in a clumsy way.
Question, therefore. Are there keyboard reconfiguration programs which
allow not only changing keys, but also adding them via the alternate key
(my own has no reaction to use of this key). Of course, any reconfiguration
should be compatible with whatever word processing package I decide to
use, and I don't know yet which that will be.
