Shortcuts don't work in Microsoft Word 2013

Question

I have English Windows 8, English Office 2013 and a few keyboard languages.

When I set the English keyboard and start Word, shortcuts work. But when I change the English keyboard to other languages and start Word, shortcuts don't work. I don't have this issue in Excel 2013.

Why might this be?

Try setting Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Language\Advanced settings\"Let me set a different input method for each app window"

It's not a fix, more of a workaround, but helps.

Goto.... File...Options...Language check if keyboard layout is written "enabled" or "not enable" if "not enable", click on it and it opens Text Services and Input Laguage options. add English US default keyboard. Then select the 'English - US' as your default input language...apply and ok. Restart word and all will be fine

Check if there is OneNote 2013 icon in your notification area (tray bar). Right click on it and Quit.

Restart Word 2013.

Now shortcuts should work.
