Words in text I am typing keep separating/breaking apart i.e. th ere...

Question

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this problem I'm having.   As I type in Word, the words are splitting up randomly.  For example, I will type there and it will appear as th ere, j ust, I s, etc.  I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but how do I stop it from happening??  I'm on a deadline and it's taking me twice as long, if not more, to keep going back to correct what I'm typing.

regards,

Answer 1

The most likely answer is that you're inadvertently hitting the spacebar (that's certainly the case when it happens to me). If you're positive that's not possible, can you test with a different keyboard? It definitely sounds like a user/keyboard error.
