Typing data into table cells periodically hiccups

S

Stephen R. Diamond

This sounds like a hardware problem but it is a Word problem:

When entering data into a table in Microsoft Word 2003, using the tab
key to navigate from cell to cell, if I don't press the tab key firmly
and sharply, the keyboard will sometimes either fail to execute a tab,
or it will do so partially. This "partial" response happens most often
when the first letter the first letter of the table cell is capitalized,
and the letter is omitted. I call it a "partial" response, because
hitting the tab key a second produces the correct capital letter.

I know it isn't a hardware problem, because repeated use of the tab key
in NotePad is unploblematic. I think there is some setting that's being
applied to tables that creates problems. I turned off AutoCorrect, so
that's not where the problem lies. Any ideas about this?
