Quark Forums

Using a windows machine, the letter "q" in lowercase cannot be typed into quark. The uppercase "Q" works.

Have replaced the keyboard, and the letter "q" can be typed into other programs.

WOW! What version of Quark, what version of windows? Is it ALL fonts?

 Yes all fonts. Windows XP, Quark XPress 7.31

Have you tried inserting it using the Character Map?

 (Sheeesh--I absolutely hate my life for actually learning this XP stuff.)

If I were a guessing man, I'd guess that something on your computer is intercepting the Q key for a keyboard shortcut. Can you type a Q in other programs? If so, try quitting Quark, moving your Quark preferences to a different location and restarting Quark. This will build new default prefs that may help.

 I have since discovered that not being able to type the letter "q" is local only to that particular save (catalogue) of quark and any copies made

 Just tried the thumbnail drag that didnt appear to work.

 It does appear to be just the one document.
