Word typing on its own

[Patrick_E_Mason]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

During typing, Word will spontaneously copy and then repeatedly paste the word i am typing upwards of 10 times on its own like this; likethis; likethis; likethis; likethis; likethis; likethis; likethis; likethis; likethis; likethis.

I have uninstalled/re-installed, changed prefs and so on, nothing is working. Help

That would be a stuck key, I think: Probably the F4 key on your keyboard.

Examine that closely and see if that looks suspicious.

Cheers
