Spacebar only works with shift
I have Microsoft Office 2003 and have been using it for about 3 months, and
now suddenly when using Word or typing a message in Outlook, my spacebar will only work when I press the shift button, too. The weird thing is, is that I work from home using a program that uses Word, and the spacebar works fine there. This is so frustrating...Somebody please help!!! |

Do you have the correct keyboard layout enabled (in Windows Control Panel)?

Yes, I checked that and it says my device is working properly. It's the
keyboard that came with the computer, and I've been using it for a couple of years.

It sounds like you checked the keyboard in the Device Manager, but that
isn't what Stefan was referring to.

Well, I went there but was afraid to choose any formats (didn't see one for a
US qwerty, anyway). Since the spacebar works fine when I'm working in Word on my work program, I don't want to mess that up. I'd really like to be able to send an e-mail, though, or type letters in Word when I'm not working. Oh, well. Thank you very much anyway.

As explained in the article, just choose the language you want, and a
keyboard layout ("service" in Windows XP) in that language. For the chosen language, you can delete any other enabled layouts. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sunshine420" wrote in message ...
