Hey K10MD, does that happen with all of your Word content, or just this specific one? 

 

If you copy this document, and try to edit the new copy, do you notice the same behavior?

    It seems to happen with both the source document and my copy. 

    When I open the document in Word (not word for WEB) then it doesn't happen.

     

    If I open other documents with Word for Web, it doesn't happen.

      Thanks for clarifying that for us K10MD 

       

      You haven't mentioned if this persists after clearing your browser's cache or when using another browser - could you give it a go and let us know if this persists?

       

      If it does, could you try selecting the blank space where you want to type in the doc and toggle off/on the bullet list and try again?

        I cleared the browser cache and it kept happening but it seemed to only happen with that document. I'm wondering if something somehow carried over from the original.
