microsoft word language problem.?

I am English and my girlfriend is Swedish. I have installed windows XP onto my PC in English but my girlfriend needs to use microsoft word in Swedish. I installed the Swedish version of word for her but we are unable to write certain Swedish letters for example an A with two dots on top, an O with two dots on top and an A with a small circle above it. We have a Swedish keybord but these letters dont work with word or anything else for that matter. Im guesing that its a problem with my keybord instalation but I cant work out how to fix it. Please help?

    It is not Word, it is the languages installed in Windows (You can have both English and Swedish installed at the same time)

    Microsoft Windows allows a number of different keyboard languages and layouts. Installation of the "typical", or "default" options provides capabilities for French, Spanish, and other Western European languages.

    In Win XP, to change the keyboard languages and layout, click the Start button, then choose Settings, Control Panel, and Regional and Language Options. Click the "Languages" tab and then the "Details" button. From here you can add your swedish keyboard layout. Click Apply to finish the process; the Windows installation CD is not usually needed.
