I am having a strange issue using Mac Office 2011 (Word) with my Logitech 5500 Bluetooth keyboard.

I am posting this from that keyboard and having no issues, but when I go to use Word, whenever I use the Enter key, it also deletes 2 characters. So if I use it at the beginning of a paragraph (that already has been typed), it will add a hard return and delete the 2 characters. Switching to the Apple wireless keyboard and the issue goes away.

Also, there are no characters to delete, like going to a new paragraph, it will jump back to where you used it. So for example, you finish a paragraph, hit return and start typing, you find yourself back adding to the end of your last paragraph.

But sometimes it does not do this and it does not ever do this when using MS Word via Fusion.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Update: I plugged my USB wireless keyboard in and tried the same scenario. Not one issue. So it is something in the BT keyboard. I am going to restart the MBP and see if that fixes it and will try using the BT dongle if I can find it.
