bizarre problem

[Bryan Aubrey]

I'm typing something in Word, and then for no reason that I can see, it will
type multiple letters of the key Ijust hit, like thissssssssss, sometimes up
to 14 extra letters. I'm not holding the key down to make it do this.
Sometimes it will for no reason create half a dozen extra spaces in the
document I'm typing. I've just installed Word on a used G4iMac. It's an old
version, Word 98.

Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

You'll need to get your keyboard fixed or replaced. It's sticking (whether
or not the physical key comes back up).
