There are times when my wife hits, inadvertently, a series of keys in MS Word that changes the keyboard settings to some weird unintelligible new font thing .
After hitting these keys, she gets a new key board where when you hit the back slash button you get a lower case e with a slash over it as in Resume, as in job application form.
The characters seem to change randomly and we haven't figured out the combination of keys that shes mistyping to make all this happen.
Anyone care to take a stab at it?
