Default Undo more than just one letter at a time?

Hi!

Say I type the word "example." The Undo menu shows 8 actions: "Typing E,"
then "Typing x," then "Typing a," and so forth.

This started happening last week all of a sudden. Of course, it is very
annoying.

What causes it? How do I change it?

Thanks!
Claudio

You're not the first person to report this, but I don't think anyone has
been able to come up with a plausible explanation, as that is NOT the way
Word usually works. What you will see is that if you select text and type
over it, Word will count the first letter typed as the replace operation and
the rest as "typing," so it takes two Undos to restore the replaced text.
