Across multiple keyboards and multiple OSs - on the same system? If it were windows I would suspect the keyboard settings or default input language were set oddly (control panel).\nIf regardless of OS or kbd, it would be odd. Hardware issue with the system? Tried USB kbd if different?

Ē ē\n\nwhy do you don't have a character map? it should be in \nStart > All Programs > Accesories > System Tools > Character Map\n\nIf unable to acces through this, open Microsoft Word's character maps (Insert>Symbols)

You can always go to the Insert Symbol menu, and when you find the letter with the accent it will give you the codes. \nalt +0223 = ß for example.\n\nIt's even easier with a Mac.  For example option u then the letter you want will put an umlaut on the letter ü (PC code alt +0252 ont he number keyboard.)

You need to go to the Tools menu and choose Options.  On the Edit tab, make sure the box marked Typing Replaces Selection is checked and press OK.  Your problem should be solved.

try Alt+3 (the number 3 that on your right side of keyboard, not the one on top)☺♥

Dude, let me know when you figure this out.  I'm also dying to know.  Is it really so hard to hit an extra two keys when typing words like "are" or "you?"

Wow, that is rather strange.  Though first approach the simple solution.\n\nIs it IE thats the problem or merely your keyboard?  Is it only the main enter key on the keyboard or does the one on the numpad work?  I normally wouldn't ask this, but you didn't use the Enter key in your paragraph once, so I have no clue if its solely the IE address line or your keyboard itself.  If not, explain further with more detail and I'll give it another shot.

Someone may have messed with your keyboard definitions.

alt+3\n♥\nhold down the alt, push the three while still holding alt, then let go of both at the same time.  u may need 2 use the 3x3 keypad on the side of the keyboard.

It may be that your keyboard settings need changing to UK. Go to control panel to do this or it might be that the keys are stuck or dirty, if so take them off carefully with a knife and clean.

Give us some more info such as model of computer, is it the Apple keyboard, version of operating system, program you are typing in, is ctl the "Control" key, are you using any foreign language software (is there a flag in the menu bar next to Help)?\n\nIf this is OS X, read on. Otherwise, submit your question again with details. Open TextEdit (in Applications folder) and type. Try the spacebar. Spacebar OK? Your other program is wacky. TextEdit also has wacky spacebar operation? Keep reading.\n\nRestart and hold the Shift key until you see the blue startup / welcome screen (could be two minutes wait). Try TextEdit again. Spacebar OK? Restart and don't hold Shift. TextEdit OK? It was drive corruption. TextEdit back to wacky? It's one of the items that open automatically at login. Go to the Apple menu (or the Dock) and choose System Preferences. Then choose Login Items. Turn off one item at a time and restart to test again. When you get rid of the problem, resinstall the program that made the Login Item.
