Problems Switching between Russian and English Fonts in Windows X P

[VANCHU, ANTHONY J. (JSC-AH) (TTI)]

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered the following problem and, if
so, do you know of a solution?

When working in MS Word and sometimes in some other programs (such as Hot
Potatoes), I'm unable to toggle back to English from Russian (this is using
the native Windows XP keyboards).  Neither the hotkey combination nor the
language icon will work.

The only way I've found out of this situation so far is to quit the program
I'm working in and then reopen it.  Although this is workable, albeit
annoying (and at least I haven't had to reboot entirely), it just seems like
one of those things that shouldn't happen and for which there should be a
work-around.  Hopefully, somewhere among the SEELANGS population, there
might be someone who can help.

Thanks,
Tony Vanchu
