MS Word Keyboard Assignment

by robinscott48 . Updated 22 years, 7 months ago

I sometimes have to write in Russian. The standard Russian keyboard is as hotch-potch as the English qwerty one. When using WordPerfect 5.2 on Windows 95 I compeletely re-assigned the keyboard on a phonetic basis by assigning a macro to each key which produced the ascii character which was then translated into a Russian character by the Cyrillic font “Arial Cyr”.

I’m now using Word 2000 on Windows 98. Is there any way of producing a similar result? Word doesn’t appear to allow the re-assignment of alpha-numeric keys, and in any case the Cyrillic characters appear to be produced by a different system on Windows 98. Any suggestions?
