Hi. I don't know if this is the right bit to be posting in, but I'd be thankful for any help which those in the know can give.

The laptop (Vista) is set up for Thai Kedmanee keyboard and happily displays the language bar, allowing me to switch between EN and TH. However, when typing in Thai (Word document) the "mai toh" shows up as a square around the preceding consonant.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm not using an actual keyboard with the Thai characters set out on it, but a Roman alphabet keyboard for which I press the "H" key to obtain "mai toh".

Maybe a font problem -- have you tried changing the font? Angsana, Tahoma, and Cordia (among others) are the standards that come with Windows.

The keyboard thing doesn't matter -- the only difference between a "Thai keyboard" and an "English keyboard" is the paint on the keys.
