To type I need to depress keys for twice as long as usual. Why?

Having inadvertently depressed a "shift" key for longer than 6 seconds, I
have created a problem with typing. To type I need to depress the keys for
about twice as long as usual, with an associated sound as well. I can
temporarily correct this by depressing the shift key again for longer than 6
seconds but I need to make the correction more permanent. How do I do this?

This is a Windows thing, not specifically Word.

Go to Start menu > Control Panel > Accessibility Options (or in Vista
or Windows 7, Ease of Access Center). Turn off Filter Keys. To prevent
it from starting again, go to its settings and disable its shortcut.
