Did you check the Autocorrect settings in Word? Look in File > Options > Proofing Choose Autocorrect Options, wonder if it's wanting additional characters? Also make sure in your Windows Settings (its different for 10 vs 11 so use the search to find it) and make sure your System Language and Keyboard Languages are correct and the same - different areas use different keyboard layouts - i.e. English US vs Canada FR (I don't understand the naming ....but Vista used to change this a lot, and there's a lot of hidden shortcuts where it can be accidentally changed.

I have same problem with you.

I tried changing fonts from BrowalliaNew to BrowalliaUPC and it works. 2 in every space disappeared.

It’s not the good way to solve problems, but I hope this could help.
