This hint may only apply to users with a non-US keyboard. In Sweden on a Windows machine, you press AltGr+2 to get the @-sign. A Mac keyboard of course has no AltGr key, but I thought one could use the key combination Control-Alt instead. In many cases you can do that. However, Office 2003 (at least the Swedish version) doesn't recognize Control-Alt as AltGr, though many other programs do. Of course this is problem when working in Outlook 2003.
The solution: remap keys in Windows. I tried many remapping utilities, but many didn't do the job. Maybe because the utilities are designed for US keyboards. I found one free utility that do work: KeyTweak. Download and install (in Windows in Parallels, obviously). I used the 'Half Teach Mode' to remap the right Command key to 'Right Alt' (AltGr). Then use the Apply button to let KeyTweak write the remapping into Windows' Registry. Since it is a registry change, it means that the remapping works without a program running in background. A reboot of Windows is necessary for the change to take affect.
This works very nicely for me. However, I have not yet had the chance to test what happens when I connect an external keyboard.
