Hi guys

I need some help. During some inertia calculations MathCad desided to prank me and limit my keyboard input to: "a, s, d and f". I have been searching google and this site for answers but non seem apparent... please help me!

Thanks in advance, and best regards

You mean you can only type those four letters in any place in Mathcad, nothing else?

Doesn't look like a Mathcad problem but a defect keyboard - but then, how would you have typed that post.

That is my problem yes, and it is only with MathCad I'we got the problem, all other programs work just fine..

That sound really very strange and I don't have a clue what could cause that behaviour. And while I hardly can image this being a problem specific to a certain software the most obvious (and infationary) thing would be a reinstall. Another is calling PTC support.

Just for the records: does it affect only one specific worksheet or can't you type any oher letters in a newly created sheet, too? And then - what version of Mathcad?
