the backspace key is removing several words instead of one letter weathersage 12/25/2008 3:56:00 PM I think the fault may be in my keyboard, but I'm not sure. The forward slash key was repeating with only one click, but that has stopped. help please and thank you.

I agree that the keyboard is probably the cause, but there's something else you can easily check first. In the Windows Control Panel, open the Keyboard icon. Make sure the repeat delay and repeat rate settings are somewhere in the middle of their ranges. If that doesn't help, borrow someone else's keyboard to see whether that fixes it. If so, a new keyboard won't be expensive. I recommend www.newegg.com. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
