Can no longer repeat a keystroke by holding key down

[Marie]

While in Word, I accidentally held down one of the keys
(probably the Ctrl key) for a long period of time. I got
a message asking about a feature associated with this and
apparently I responded the wrong way, because now I
cannot hold the delete key or back space or arrow keys to
move more than one space at a time.
I have looked all over for the answer. If anyone can
help, I'd appreciate it.

Open "Accessibility Options" in Control Panel. On the keyboard tab, under
FilterKeys, deselect the "Use FilterKeys" check box.

Did this help ?
