I know some people may help better if I give more
specific details to my problem.. So here goes:

My keyboard works correctly with any other application,
such as MSN, ICQ, Wordpad.. etc. However, when I open an
Office application such as Word or Excel, it doesn't seem
to type for me. I cannot type in the help section, can I
type in the document or in those toolbars at the top for
Fonts, etc. But if I specifically go to "Format >>
Font", then yes, I can type in it.

I have tried reinstalling Office already, that doesn't
work. The hardware is fine, I can still type in any
other application except for Word or any other
application.

If somebody can help me, I would be very grateful.
Please contact me through e-mail.

Check your settings in Tools/Autocorrect. It is a common prank to disable
or sabotage a keyboard using Autocorrect.
 
I wouldn't guess autocorrect if you're trying to type in Help (in the "ask a
question box" or under Help????)

Have you ruled out your keyboard--can you try it with another keyboard to see if
that helps? (Not quite the same test as a different application.)

And try opening excel in Safe mode to see if that offers any hints.

Close Excel
windows start button
Run
Excel /safe

And see what happens.

And have you just tried unplugging the keyboard and then plugging it back in?
