70854 2002-08-13 23:29:00 When I type in word 2002, often some characters and punctuation marks are not entered into the document. I always need to go back over the text I have entered and re-enter the missing bits! Typing in any other application works fine. I have installed the patches for word and XP(home) and have run the application repair utility, turned off all other running applications and so on, but the problem remains. PaulK (1487)

It happens with me, but I know its my typing!

What hardware and operating system?

With the speech recognition off and the autocorrect options off it appears that the problem may be solved. Of course my typing is not perfect either.
