Hi Mark, This is usually done via Control Panel, Regional Settings, Add keyboard. There is then a keyboard toggle available to alternate between keyboard layouts. My wife does this with a Danish Keyboard added. Confuses the heck out of me at times if she's forgotten to switch back. George.

Now how about producing the Cyrillic alphabet on a keyboard, can you point me in the direction of any hints. So far a Google search has yielded little success.

No way for eloquence or other English synthesizers or voices to read the Cyrillic alphabet.

Currently when I encounter Russian letters, I get no feedback whatsoever, or in the case of a Webpage, I am informed that the characters are indeed Russian if the appropriate Markup has been used. If anyone has any experience of dealing with the Russian alphabet, or any other alphabet other than our vernacular Roman, any advice would be appreciated. Mark
