[bb]

As I'm typing, I sometimes hit a combination of keys that changes the
spacebar so that it deletes instead of leaving a space. I can't fiure out
how to return it to normal. Can someone help?

Thanks

You have toggled into Overtype mode. Either double-click OVR on the status
bar or press the Insert key once.

Office 2003? Version *always* needs be mentioned!

Sounds like you may be accidentally triggering OverType Mode which can
easily be done by hitting the Insert key. If that's the problem you can go
to ToolsCustomize - keyboard, select All Commands in the left list, click
in the right list & type the letter o, then scroll down & select Overtype,
select Insert from the Current Keys & click Delete, then OK.
