    Microsoft word bullshit Please help

    I have a lot of time,in and out of classes, in microsoft word. I am typing a resume up right now and this thing is doing something I have never seen it do before. Its typing backward and I want it to f*cking stop


    Ex) I have Colle...I want it to type collect....it types....ctcolle

    WHY!!!??? I have hit every damn button but the right one I guess.

    Thanks

    Weird. Try clicking at the end of the word and hitting the insert button...

      My guess is you have some macro running.

      Are you running vista by chance?

        If you're on a laptop make sure you're not hitting the touchpad while you type. That used to happen to me and it turned out I was moving the cursor with my thumb.

          Fuck Microsoft word. It always is changing my bullets and formatting by itself, like it knows better than me how I want to format my assignments. It got to the point where I would type everything up in notepad, then just copy it into Word for final editing.

            No vista but I did put a symbol in and something about a macro came up. None of the bottom things like REV or OVR are on

                      Go ahead and delete normal.dot as well. If that gets corrupted, word can do all sorts of wierd shit that doesn't make sense.
