Thanks so much Suzanne. That solved the problem.

You have inadvertently enabled an international keyboard layout in which the
quotes key is a "dead key" that waits for another key to be pressed and then
adds an accent or quotation mark depending on the next key. In Windows
Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | Languages | Details, select
a US (or UK) keyboard that isn't designated as "international."

I am not even sure this is a Word problem but I will try anyway. Every
time
I enter quotation marks in Word, nothing appears until I press the next
key.
Even worse, if I enter quotation marks (single or double), then move the
cursor and press a key, the quote appears in the new location. Hold on,
it
gets worse. If I enter quotes before a capital I, it shows up as I with
two
dots over the letter. Ï

As I said, not sure this is Word, but if anyone has any experience of this
problem, help would be appreciated.
