....and if Open and Repair doesn't restore the ability, another laundering technique is to save the file in .rtf. Close it. Re-open the .rtf. Then save as a doc (or docx) file. No guarantees... but I find that this laundering technique frequently gets rid of document corruption.

Clearly there's something weird about that document since obviously it should not be behaving that way. If you copy/paste some of the content into a fresh document, what behavior do you see? It may be that the document is corrupt or verging on corruption, so you might try Open and Repair.

AutoFormat is being applied--at least not that I can tell.
However, further testing shows me that it happens in some documents and not
in others. I opened a new document and tried Herb's test, and F4 worked fine,
repeating the whole entry. Then I tried in an existing document--both in a
table and not--and got the problem result.
From reading others of Suzanne's posts :-) I knew to check the Undo list.
Sure enough, the document where it worked showed simply "Typing" as the last
action. In the document where it didn't work, the Undo list showed each
character I had typed as a separate, discrete action.
Mind you, I do not delay between characters. I type about 130 wpm, so it
beats me why it sometimes sees a string of text as a single entity, and
sometimes not. Help? This is a feature I use a LOT, so I'll really hate to
lose it.

In all versions, though, continuous "Typing" will be interrupted (in the
Undo/Redo list) by an AutoCorrect or AutoFormat action.
