I have been using MSWord and suddenly the spacebar does
not work when typing a document.

It works fine in other applications so it is not the
keyboard.

Does anyone know of a setting etc. that may cause this to
happen. I have tried rebooting my PC and that did not
reset/correct the problem.

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

It's possible that some macro reassigned the key. See if
this macro helps

Sub ReassignKey()
CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate
Application.FindKey(KeyCode:=vbKeySpace).Clear
End Sub

If it doesn't, check that there are no addins loaded in
Tools/Templates and Addins.

If that still doesn't help, we need to know which version of
Word you have.
