Having been fine this morning, just tried to use word and I find that some of
the keys when pressed type the wrong character. Specifically, the problem is
with the keys towards the right side of the keyboard - the last three or four
columns down. Others work normally. Any ideas?

Nothing to do with Word.

With no details, it's hard to guess what's going on. Some
possibilities:

- you have a laptop with no numeric keypad, and the function key that
turns a group of keys into a virtual numeric keyboard has been pressed

- you have a laptop with built-in international language support, and
the function key that turns that feature on has been pressed

- a software keyboard other than the one you're accustomed to using is
installed on your computer, and you've switched to it by pressing
Shift-LeftAlt.
