I upgraded from DV3 to DVX yesteday, and have up to now used a macro program called SwapKeys for entering Danish vowels, since I work on a US keyboard.

Does anyone know of another way?

Hallo Alice,
Looks like you haven't found the best forum for DVX questions here - in almost a full day hardly anyone even looked at your question, let alone offering an answer.
I haven't looked into your problem (my other language is German and I have a German keyboard, so I don't have the problem). But I know that some people do use utilities which give them keyboard short cuts, even in DVX.

TOPIC STARTER | Changing the keyboard layout to another language | Sep 30, 2005 |
Hello Victor,
Thanks for your note. I actually ended up switching the US keyboard layout to Danish by following these steps:
# Select the Start button in the lower left corner of the Desktop.
# Select Settings > Control Panel.
# In the Control Panel, double-click the Regional and Language Options item.
# In the Regional and Languages dialog box, click on the Languages tab.

# To add a language, click the Add button in the Installed services section to open the Add Input Language dialog box.
# Click on the arrow to the right of the selector in the Input language selector and scroll to your labguage.
# Switch back and forth between the layouts by pressing:
Left Alt + Shift + 0
I printed out a cheat sheet with the Danish Keyboard Layout and can refer to it as I work, but it's amazing how quickly you can get used to it.
I also joined the DV newsgroup in Yahoo.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
