WORD 2007 format changes when "backspace" is pressed.

Word 2007 is driving me crazy on this one. When I backspace, the formant
and/or font size and/or font itself changes. I normally use Times New Roman
12. If I back space to correct an error, for to six words in front of where
I backspaced will change formatting to italic and 10 pt font, or turn into
courier 10 pt, or some other variation. I have to actually move the cursor
and use the delete key to make changes without disturbing the font format.

1. Has this been happening all along, or did it just suddenly start
happening?

2. Does it happen in all documents, or just in one document?

If the answer to #1 is no, then try rebooting.

If rebooting doesn't fix it, and the answer to 2 is just in one document,
then that document is probably corrupted. Is this a .doc or a .docx file?

If the answer to #2 is All documents, then what happens if you start Word
2007 in Safe Mode? Press Ctrl as Word is starting, then say Yes to starting
in Safe Mode.
