Sometimes some keys begin registering different characters, like an accented
E when I press apostrophe (not after an Alt). The only way I can turn this
off is save my work, exit word, and restart. What's the official way to
return my keyboard to normal?

You need to switch keyboards from an international layout to your usual one.

You probably accidentally typed LeftAlt-Shift, which toggles/cycles
through the installed keyboards. You can remove any keyboards you know
you're never going to use, but you do that differently in XP or Vista.
(You begin with Start Control Panel Regional and Language Options,
and can probably figure it out from there.)

Switch the input language, which is a property of Windows system. Try just
ctrl+shift for switching, or alt + shift. You can disable the keyboard
