I have a colleague that is experiencing(intermittently)
problems when pressing backspace or delete ( can
appear ?!!?!. Also although the letter keys work ok other
keys such as the left arrow key comes up with "%" and up
key comes up with "&" - she has tested word and that it
ok - it is affecting previously created documents and
new ones.
 
That sounds like a physical problem with the keyboard or
perhaps a driver problem.

HTH,

Or multiple languages are installed and it's somehow gotten kicked into the
wrong one.
Had something very similar happen on the machine here yesterday - I was
trying to rename a file in WinExplorer and it kept telling me that (and here
it gave me a long list of punctuation characters) were not valid characters
in filenames. Fine. But I wasn't TYPING any 'o them. Just a dash or
underscore. Apparently they map to something filename_verboten in
Deutsch, which is what the system had gotten swapped into somehow.

We've had intermittent problems with this as well, but our
was related to our desktop lock (key combo of
CTRL+ALT+DEL). Not sure if this applies to you, but MS did
provide a fix for us. See KB Article #821432.
