Scrambled output in OpenOffice
When I use AutoHotkey to send a text string to the OpenOffice wordprocessor, I get a scrambled output – for example, I have a script to type today's date, which today should be displayed as "Saturday 26 October 2013", but I actually get "S 62 yadrutaO3102 rebotc". The script works fine in every other program on my computer, including the OpenOffice spreadsheet. Does anyone have an explanation for this mystery? Is there a solution?

Perhaps it sends too fast? Maybe it needs more of a delay.
SetKeyDelay, 150, 50
try adding that at the very top of your script. try raising the value too.

Nothing changes with a delay. I can't understand how the key strokes seem to be sent in reverse order.

You have not shown what code you are using. Please give us that.
The "send' command has a few variations, have you read the docs about them and tried each?
As a final attempt, you can copy data to the clipboard and then send ^v to paste the data to whatever application is active.

Re: Scrambled output in OpenOffice
May I recommend the Clip() function, to be used for pasting text, rather than sending it ?
