Press too long on keyboard

[word loser]

I am working with word and I accidentally pressed on an alphabet for too long
and the word document starts to behave strangely. I cannot work in it with
the keyboard. I tried to use the mouse but it seemed that the block of text
was highlit for copying or deletion. My key board does not function. How
could I remove the effect of that lingering finger so that I can start
working again?
