Hi Steve I'd be interested to hear how you get on as it definitely works the conventional way for me with the colon.

I've just tried it as I was beginning to think I was going bonkers, and you just hold the shift down on the NC10 over the semi-colon to get a colon. How odd that it isn't happening for you.

The keyboard is UK English, so I don't quite know what is going on here.

The keyboard is a little different yes, but no way is the colon fn plus right shift. Are you sure you have the keyboard layout set correctly? colon is semicolon shifted if I'm not mistaken *smile*. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 5:55 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Netbooks > Don't apologise Steve.
