When I press the spacebar in Word for Windows, it deletes or backspaces the previous charachters.
Can anyone think how to reverse this and get back to normal?

On the task bar,click on tools in the drop down menu,click on options and then click on the default button.
This does not work then repair the application by reinstalling.

If you have an ANYKEY keyboard, (or a keyboard that supports remapping) you may have accidentally remapped the spacebar. For the ANYKEY keyboard you have to press Ctrl-Alt-Remap to reset the keyboard.
