I never noticed this problem in Word 5.0, but I did have it happen to me once in 5.1a. I had a paragraph that I began with small caps and ended with plain text. Every time I hit the spacebar in that paragraph, the small caps portion of the para would toggle between small caps and plain text. This bizarre phenomenon only occured in one of the many paragraphs beginning with small caps in this document. I have not been able to repeat the phenomenon in subsequent sessions in this or other documents. The whole thing is strange, unpredictable, and irritating. Any words of wisdom out there?
