Default Getting Wrong Characters in Word

Is the capitalization really random like that, oR dID yOU aCCIDENTALLY

If it's really random, could possibly have flipped into a "novelty"
font that mixes up the letters?

(As for Padraig, did you try _both_ suggestions?)

Thanks Mr. Daniels for the input. Looks like it is an issue with left

(Or maybe you have a laptop with another language's keyboard built in,
in which case there's a key somewhere to toggle them.)

Everything would get back to normal if I re-boot the system.
