The letters are stacked together on MS works word. I have to hit space bar twice to get proper lettering. This happens on both reading and writeing.

On the Dream Weaver VQ3000, you press the spacing button and then press the - button on the screen. If you only see the Close and a button with two stacked carets pointing up, an "expand" button, press the expand button. Then the spacing button will be the second from the right in the second row in the newly visible buttons. This spacing will change the spacing of all the letters. It can be applied before, during or after choosing the letters in the word/words. The closest spacing value available is 0 (0 mm apart) and is the default for the machine out of the factory. All of the values are integers; a value of 1 = 0.18 mm spacing. A value of 5 = 0.9 mm spacing between the letters. Note: there is a space character; it's to the right of the apostrophe and below the w.

You may have it switched to European characters - try changing regions in Control Panel and if necessary use (left) Alt+Shift.

You have to hit the symbols key twice quickly, I think, to get letters, 3 times for capitals, etc. something like that

Try to press the Fn key plus the spacebar and see if this solves your problem.

The same thing happens to my cliq except it happens every time i hit the space bar on the physical keyboard its inserts random text and then sends it either on via text message for search bar... Tmobile has sent me a new one each time i am on my third one good luck wih warrenty

I think ya need a new keyboard, that is NOT normal.. & KB's either work right or replace

in this case you need to do the system restore to the earlier date and that will resolve the issue .

If the ribbon isn't moving a full space for each letter printed try code . or , this changes yhe spacing.
