How do I change the default keyboard on SF?

[Guest Kaiser Wilhelm II]

Strange one this, touchpal is definitely installed - I can see it from list of installed apps and I can go into 'settings>language & keyboard>TouchPal' to configure it.

However, there should be a tickbox beside the various installed keyboards (in this case, just TouchPal and Android keyboard are installed/shown) and you tick one to use as the default keyboard. I don't have that and the keyboard is defaulting to the standard Android one for any given app.

(It's running the standard 2.1 ROM but I have rooted it and removed a couple of the installed Orange apps. Nothing related to keyboards though).

Cheers - that did the trick. Strange that I can't set it up from the settings menu but as long as it works ...
