Enter key disabled

Each time a new document is created, the ability to use
the Enter key is disabled. Autoformat was turned on when
this error occurred, however, it has been turned off and
the problem still persists.

Any ideas as to what the cause may be.

Thank you.

Hi Russ,

One thing you might check is whether the Enter key has somehow been assigned
as a shortcut key:
Press Alt + Ctrl + Num+
(hold Alt, hold Ctrl, press "+" on the numeric keypad on the right side of
the keyboard)
When the cursor has turned into a cloverleaf, press the "Enter" key.

If a dialog comes up that shows that the Enter key is assigned as a
shortcut, you can probably only remove it with a macro.
Open the VBA editor (for example with Alt+F11), then the immediate window
(Ctrl+G), type or paste
KeyBindings.Key(wdKeyReturn).Disable
and hit Enter at the end of the line.

If no dialog comes up, I'm out of ideas.

Greetings,
Klaus
