When Dvorak dies because of Word bug

Reader Jane Kerns has a bone to pick with Microsoft in regard to her favorite keyboard layout. She writes:</p>

I have used the Dvorak keyboard layout for close to 30 years. I also use Microsoft Word 2011. My problems started with the most recent update, 14.4.3. Now when I open Word and/or when I open a Word document, the keyboard layout changes to QWERTY. I talked to Microsoft support to get a workaround, but they say it is a Mac problem, not a Microsoft problem. What’s the real story and is there a workaround?

I can’t swear that the Microsoft representative you spoke with normally wears a hat, but if so, they were talking through it. Given that the Dvorak keyboard setting sticks when using Word 14.4.2 but not with the latest update, of course it’s Microsoft’s problem.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2465651/when-dvorak-dies-because-of-word-bug.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
