Do you keep it updated regularly - as in daily?

No but I will now.
I think this is related to a key stroke which activates it.

thank you for your time and consideration

One other thing to try (if it's just Word) might be to delete the normal.dot
file and see if that helps. Close Word, then search your hard drive for
normal.dot or normal.dotm and delete all those files before relaunching
Word.
