Word 2007 skips letters

[lmn_mt]

In the last 1-2 weeks, Word 2007 has started randomly skipping letters when I
type. I am a medical transcriptionist, and this problem is greatly affecting
my production. I have run the diagnostic in Word. I have also run AdAware and
AVG Virus Scan. I also tried renaming Normal.dotm to Normal-old.dotm. I also
tried disabling the add-ins. The problem still exists. I am at my wit's end.

Does it happen only in Word?

It might be a hardware problem -- have you tried plugging in a
different keyboard? Can you get at the under-key area to blow out dust
that might be getting onto the contacts?
