Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / June 2006Keyboard Viewer not working in Word
I have in Intel iMac running OS 10.4.6 and Word 2004 (11.2). When I turn on the Thai language in the OS and then turn on Keyboard Viewer all is fine and dandy in Finder and Safari and TextEdit, but when I switch to Word, the Keyboard Viewer switches to US (English). I can still type in Thai in Word, but they Keyboard Viewer doesn't show the Thai charactors. Does anyone know of a fix or workaround? Is this a Rosetta thing since Word runs in Rosetta and Safari and TextEdit don't? Thanks. Incase anyone is interested I think I answered my own question. I found that if an app runs in Rosetta (the PowerPC emulation on Intel Mac's) the keyboard viewer will only us US English. I tried a bunch of universal apps (designed to run on Intel Mac's like Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Camino 1.0.2) and they all worked. I tried a bunch of apps running in Rosetta (MS Office 2004, Fugu, Fetch, Eudora, etc) and none of them worked. I then tried forcing some universal apps to run in Rosetta (Get Info>Open Using Rosetta) and the keyboard viewer didn't work (US English only). So, long story short, any apps running in Rosetta will not work with other languages and the keyboard viewer. Hopefully this helps others. > I have in Intel iMac running OS 10.4.6 and Word 2004 (11.2).
