Hi Paul I cant check the language on the laptop is the boy I volunteer with is on hols so I cant check his laptop until he gets back. When we were using MS Word to copy and paste text the ALT GR key was pressed and then CTL X and CTL V stopped working, actually we couldnt do anything else so we had to restart the keyboard.
