I can type any special character in word except the "less than" symbol. As
soon as i type in once and try a second time, it automatically erases itself
or just shows a white space like the space bar was just pressed. I have
tried another PS/2 keyboard, a USB Keyboard and have updated office and
windows 2000 Pro. Everything else works fine.

Any Suggestions

It looks to me like the action of an AutoCorrect entry. Check to see if you
have something that replaces with a space. (Although AC shouldn't kick in
until you press a space or punctuation.)

Thanks for the info. I did find where the was being replaced with a 'space'
when typing more that one 'less than' symbol. I deleted the entry and
everything works just fine.

Again, thanks for the help
