I have a following setup: MacBook Pro OSX + Parallels 6 + Windows XP I use Polish PRO keyboard and it works perfectly with all Mac apps AND Microsoft Office Word on Windows. My Polish font shortcut keys are option+letter (eg. option+a for ą). This seems, however, to interfere with shortcut keys in both Microsoft Office Excell and in Wordfast. I've tried changing regional settings in Windows, but to no avail. Ideas? Help?

Try assigning other shortucts in Word

Change the shortcuts in the corresponding application - for example if your "aogon" letter shortcut conflicts with the shorctut for a function A in Wordfast, change this one. In Word it is very easy - click the small arrow pointing down at any toolbar, chose modify and chage to keyboard. Check to what your desired shortcut is asigned and remove everything you do not need. You can find a good description of such modification in Word excellent help.

Well, Windows will always treat that key as alt

Or with other words, when you connect a "normal" keyboard to a Mac, the alt key is the option key for the machine. I am afraid only an additional shortcut program for Windows could solve your program. If you would look here in the fora it was listed quite often.
