She wants (needs!) the reappearance/reinstallation of keyboard functions that were installed before my time on her previous computer. She wants to be able to use either ALT key, followed by o, a, u to get ö ä ü. Currently, ALT plus anything (in Word) brings up/down a menu. Due to extreme visual impairment, she doesn't want an alternative keyboard layout that then replaces many of the keys with other (unknown) characters. We've tried U.S. International, German, Dutch, etc. All of them have various ways to create the characters she wants but either require too many key strokes (e.g., ALT + " + character or CTRL + ALT + whatever) OR rearrange everything else on her keyboard such that she's hopelessly lost. How can I re-program her standard U.S. keyboard such that ALT + a = ä? Thanks in advance!
