Default I get "W" with a line through when I type "\"

Immediately after it happens, click Edit in the menu, and see what it says
for Undo... Does it say Undo AutoCorrect, or something else? This is for
informational/diagnostic purposes.

When it happens, are you able to undo it by pressing Ctrl+Z?

Hi,
Thanks.
Yes, I have checked it and there isn't a "\" entry. Sorry, I should have
mentioned it.

I've tried the AutoCorrect option (Tools AutoCorrect Optons) but the
problem doesn't seem to be an auto-correct feature. I can't use
"AutoCorrect"'s "Replace"/"With" feature to set Word to change the "W"
back
to a \, as, in the "AutoCorrect" window, I no longer have the \W problem.
The \ key works perfectly well in the AutoCorrect pane.

When I use the \ key, in the main Word window in any document, I don't get
a
\ at all - even if it's almost instantaneously changed to a "W" with a
line
through it and I'm too slow to see the change.
