Default keyboard setting
Windows 2000/ 2003:
Under "Control Panel"
defined as the default keyboard setting. This setting is indicated with a check mark
on the left.
Windows XP:
Under "Control Panel"
"Languages", click under the heading "Text Services and Input languages" on the
button "Details..." to reach the dialog "Text Services and Input languages".
Here you can see the default keyboard setting in the "Settings" tab under the
heading "Default Language and Region Support".
Windows 2000/ 2003 and Windows XP:
The default keyboard setting consists of a language property (left) and a keyboard
layout (right).
This language property of the default keyboard setting need not absolutely match
the default language.
Text file
The term "Text file" is used to describe a file which does not contain any formatting
(font type, font size, underscore, bold, italics etc.) or embedded objects (pictures,
tables, graphics, footnotes etc.).
This means that, apart from the text characters, the file will only contain ASCII
control characters like Tab, CR and LF (tab indent, carriage return and line feed).
The text characters are taken from a particular code page.
Occasionally, text files are also incorrectly referred to as ASCII files.
This is only correct if a text file only contains ASCII characters (codes 0 to 127) and
is therefore code page invariant.
Unicode
A 16-bit character set for which code pages are no longer required.
All character codes are unique, without needing to specify the code page.
Unicode programs like Word 2000/ 2003 do not offer code page-dependent
interpreting of characters and thus also cannot display characters differently by
assigning a font or language property.
