In Windows XP, there seems to be a feature that if you press ALT+X, the character right before you press it converts to unicode. &nbsp;For example, if i type &quot;test&quot; and press ALT+X, test changes to &quot;tes0074.&quot; &nbsp;In other words, the &quot;t&quot; changed to unicode.<br />
<br />
is there a way to disable this option? &nbsp;I use alt+X in MS Word for a macro, and this macro isn't working unless I press ALT+X after a space or at the beginning of a new line.<br />
<br />
I need to find a way to disable ALT+X please.<br />
<br />
Thank you!

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
