It's beginning to sound like you're using a non-standard keyboard layout. In
the Windows Taskbar, is the language toolbar displayed? If so, right-click
it and choose settings, and see what keyboard is installed.

Hi,
Under "Edit", it says "Undo Typing". Selecting it deletes what was
written.
Pressing Ctrl+Z also deletes it.
Neither solve the problem.

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.
