Apparently there are also key combinations in windows 7 that turns the screen on it's side. Margaret has had a few to sort out where the poor user was either tilting their head sideways or opening the laptop half way and propping it on it's side, then plugging in an external keyboard :lol:
There is some sort of glitch that turns word dyslectic or something, it writes from the left with the letters facing the right way but the print moves forward of the cursor rather than the cursor forward of the print, a shut down reboot seems to be the only fix.

Very clever, it tries to the tops of most of the letters on the linr, but not the d and the k, I wonder why?
