I have Windows 7 RTM, Office 2007 SP1, and a computer with English and Hebrew languages installed. In most programs (e.g. notepad), Left Alt+Shift switches from Hebrew to English and vice versa.
In Word, it also usually works, but sometimes pressing Left Alt+Shift just won't do anything.
Is this a bug in Windows? Word?
I had the same problem but then I found out that in Windows keyboard settings I've added another keyboad (Serbian) under English (United States), and not beside it. So I vent and set it all up again the right way and now it works. So instead of:
English (United States)
Keyboard
- US
- Serbian (Latin)
Now I have:
English (United States)
Keyboard
- US
Serbian (Latin)
Keyboard
- Serbian (Latin)
Works for me, at least. You can try changing the keystroke to switch input languages in
Regional and Language Options > Keyboard and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced Key Settings.
Maybe a different combination might work.
In Regional and Language -> Advanced Key Settings, create a shortcut like Ctrl+0 to change to Hebrew (not between languages).
This happened to me recently. Tried the switch, nothing. Tried again, worked fine. Guess it's a bug (I'm on W7 RC).
I'd recommend trying the alt+shift method, then (if necessary) doing the slow way through regional options. I think this might re-enable the hotkey method.
