Creating Foreign Language Texts with Windows 2000/ 2003/ XP (TX2)
4 Problems and Remedies
4.1 Problems and remedies
Keyboard layout switches unintentionally
Problem:
The keyboard occasionally switches to a different layout while inputting text without
this being explicitly requested.
Remedy:
Check the option for automatic switchover of the keyboard as described in Section
3.7: Multi-language Word files.
Deactivate this option.
Language properties are changed inadvertently
Problem:
After creating a text with the keyboard in a certain layout (e.g. Polish), you notice
that parts of the text have German or English as the language.
Remedy:
Deactivate the automatic language recognition option as described in Section 3.6:
Language properties in Word files.
Hotkeys no longer work
Problem:
Certain commands (Ctrl+C, Alt+T etc.) no longer work.
Remedy:
As a result of assigning a different keyboard layout, the keyboard shortcuts have
changed for certain commands. Use the mouse while you are working with the
other keyboard layout.
Individual texts not working
Problem:
In some cases the finished text files do not work in the SINUMERIK Runtime
system.
Individual texts or lines of text are obviously not being read correctly.
Remedy:
Check the formal text criteria:
Are all of the characters which have a functional significance correctly encoded?
• If inverted commas are a requirement, check whether Word has converted the
straight inverted commas (ASCII characters) that were entered into
typographic quotation marks. Some disruptive Word options are listed in
Section 3.1: Special characters of various language families.
• If the texts in question are East Asian texts, check the coding of the non-Asian
characters, see Section 3.9: Special requirements for East Asian texts.
If full-width characters have been used for functional characters, replace them
with the corresponding ASCII variants.
