Although in looking at the Thai characters in the script a few were definitely dodgy - as though they had trouble picking up the way we English writers write. Interesting. I will try it again and keep it to a few sentences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905541471605961414.post-48085538073456722662014-01-07T16:05:30.665+07:002014-01-07T16:05:30.665+07:00it's very useful thank you so much...it's very useful thank you so much...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905541471605961414.post-24989164901629564842013-04-24T17:32:21.714+07:002013-04-24T17:32:21.714+07:00Thanks!!

I have successfully changed my input language on my computer (I have Windows 7 Starter), and I can type in Thai perfectly fine on internet sites, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the Thai font to type in OpenOffice (it just shows up as a row of boxes). I have enabled the "enable for complex text layout (CTL)" to the "Thai" setting (in OpenOffice), but it still has not made a difference. I would REALLY appreciate any input or any direction you can point me to in order to resolve this issue as I am leaving soon to do research in Thailand.

I suppose the shift-lockable version would be useful if you wanted to enter a lot of numeric data in the Thai script, as the Thai digits are the shift characters on their keys.Richard Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905541471605961414.post-56928640408645517172009-03-26T03:58:00.000+07:002009-03-26T03:58:00.000+07:00Hey I am Thai and this is really my first time see...Hey I am Thai and this is really my first time seeing Pattachote keyboard style.<BR/><BR/>Anyone know how it came about?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905541471605961414.post-51069203942549312862009-03-17T03:52:00.000+07:002009-03-17T03:52:00.000+07:00Sorry I didn't see the last post about the grave k...Sorry I didn't see the last post about the grave key.

This option is not available on many computers because "control panel - regional and language options - advanced - language for non-unicode programs" is set to English (in windows XP). If you change this option to Thai you'll be able to choose the accent grave key to switch input languages as described by Rikker. Changing this option to Thai also solves the problem some people have with programs that use Thai font and that are not displaying their Thai characters correctly. An example of such a program is the G.
