Characters changing as I type

I'm working on a document and see that as I type sometimes (not always) when I type a "c" it shows up as a k. This has happened in the word picture and touches. I don't know why. And after a "c" (that comes up as a "k") I type k and it comes up as "l " (space is there too). Then I noticed when I typed "220", the first 2 would be a "c" and then when I went to the second 2, the first would change to a 2 and then the second 2 would be a "c". But when I typed 0 and space, it went to "220". But I can't change the other ones. I was able to abbreviate pictures to pic and it stayed as a "c" but how do you abbreviate touches?? This is just really weird.
OK, this is a Word document that I've been editing and it's all in tables. About 40 or so pages long. Some of the original stuff I'm keeping, others I'm typing over or just deleting. But this problem isn't all the time. In one cell is the word "copywork", in one cell it shows up fine another cell (same page, right next to it) it shows up as "copyworl " (space included) and the number 2 is a "c". I just noticed in another cell, it is supposed to say "See Notes" but it's coming up as "See 2 otes". This is on the same page as the copywork error, touches and I also found the word "back" is showing up as "bakl ". I really hope I don't have to start from scratch here. That was kind of the point of getting the document from a friend, to edit and not start from scratch!
I just did a software update and I have all the updated software.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Allison

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately, they are both already set to English. I checked the Text Inspector and System Preferences. I took me a little time to figure out Text Inspector meant Text under the Inspector. I'm a new Mac user, my iMac won't be a year old for another week or so, so I'm still learning the ropes. I will try the other suggestions from the other repy-er when I get a chance. If they don't work, I guess I'll try Apple Care.
Thanks!

  • I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

    I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

    When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores.  Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
    While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

    HI,
    The TR will not move the changes as you are expecting here.
    Any changes to planning area, below 5.0 need to de-intialize the planning area.
    just like
    1. hold the latest back up
    2. de-intialize planning area
    3. make the required changes to planning area
    4. initialize planning area and do conisistency checks
    5. load back the data to planning area at all CVC level
    all the steps need to perfom, in Dev and Quality and Production servers,
    Plan the activity for a weekend so that users will not get disturb*

  • How do i change the media type on a digital booklet when they option bar is greyed out?

    I downloaded an album a couple days ago which came with a digital booklet. I am trying to put it on my phone but need to change the media type to book to be able to do this. whenever I go to the get info tab, the options tab is completely greyed out and wont let me do anything to it. I have tried selecting read only on the file and it did not work. I have windows 8. If there's is any different way of getting this on my phone, anything would be great!

    The item must not be read only if you want to change it.
    In the new Get Info dialog the Media Kind is in a light grey. Next to that will be the word Music. Hover over it and you should see that it is part of a drop down list control, click and select Book.

  • Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

    HI Gurus,
    My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
    in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field  and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
    now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
    for this I would like to change the data type of the field
    to put it simply --
    we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or  Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
    how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
    Thanks in Advace
    Ramchander Rao.K

    Hello Ramchander,
         You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
    If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
    After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
    Option 1:
    Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
    Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
    if ( this.rawvalue == null )
         this.rawvalue = "N/A";
    If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
    Option 2:
    Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
    Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
    MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
    IF l_date IS INITIAL.
         l_date = 'N/A'.
    ENDIF.
    Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
    Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
    But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

  • How can we change the message type?

    Hello all
    We use SRM server 5.5 with classic scenario.
    When we create shopping cart, we implemented the Change Badi to assign the purchasing group from R/3 material master.
    We implemented the following logic.
    If material master in R/3 has no purch. Group, SRM also has no purch. Group. So SRM display the error message “You should select the purch. group” to determine the purchasing group in basic view.
    But, We have the standard error message, when we choose the material code – this material code has no purch. Group in R/3 – “No purchasing groups were found”.
    Message number is BBP_ATTR050.
    Because of this message, we can not progress the process to create shopping cart.
    Can we change the message type from Error to Warning Message?
    Or, Can we delete this message?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,
    SH

    Yes. You are right.
    When user choose the material code, there is no purch. group in 1st Step, but
    we want to choose the purch. group in 2nd Step on basic view.
    But we have the error message at 1st step. so we can not progress to 2nd Step.
    If we use dummy purch. group, user could make the human mistake.
    So our customer want to remove purch. group and choose the purchasing group by user.
    But i'm not sure if we remove this error message, we got solve this problem..
    Pls give me an idea..

  • How to change the Encoding type of a XML

    Hi all,
    I'm having a XML(generated at run time) with UTF-8 Encoding. If I'm going to parse it, getting an error saying "*Document root element is missing*".
    If I change the encoding to ANSI, it parses without error.
    How can I change the encoding type of a documnet ?
    Any comment welcome.
    Kaushalya

    There's no such thing as the "encoding of a String". If you produced a String from a sequence of bytes using the wrong encoding, you may not be able to repair that problem by hacking about in your code. You're better off to produce the String using the correct encoding in the first place. Read this for more information about XML and encodings as you appear to be misunderstanding basic concepts:

  • How to change the paper type in printer settings?

    Does anyone know how to change the paper type in printer settings?  I'm trying to have the ability to change it to photo paper from Photoshop Elements.  I can't find the option in printer settings or through Elements.  I'm assuming I could save an additional printer setting for photo printing, but can't find how to even select a different paper type.
    thanks!

    It would help to know which OS you are running as the answer will be different if it's Lion or the previous OS's. You are not running iOS 5.0.1 on your MacBook Pro so provide the correct information.

  • Change the Data Type of a Standard Required Field

    Hello Experts,
    Need to know if is it possible to change the data type of a standard field. The field is marked as a required field.
    For example: If a standard field is an Object Picker and I would like to change it to a string field. Is it possible? How can I do it?!
    Many thanks,
    Igor Nakamura

    Hi Igor,
    Since you cannot hide a required field, what you can do is move the standard required field to someplace less noticable (like the bottom of the page) and then use a validation script to set it to some benign value.
