Thanks, but other than the "Quick Repair Office" and "Online Repair Office (downloads new installer files)" both within the Change Office365 option of Control Panel > Programs and Features > Change

I've tried this on 2 machines that have the problem, neither has changed/returned to the original ability to use the <Enter> key to paste :-( ... including on the machine that worked first thing this morning but stopped working today.

Richard
