My Word spazzed out recently
So that highlighting and typing did not actually get rid of the highlighted words, meaning I then had to delete them. Very irritating.

someone in my office freaked out because they accidentally put tracking on word
they rang me panicking with "all the letters have gone red and crossed out! What's happened? Is it a virus?!"

Mine keeps doing that, very easy to fix
Tools - Options - Edit - Typing Replaces Selection

I worked it out in the end
I think a coworker changed it for me. I'll randomly fuck with people's computers until I think I've got the culprit.

I think it's Alt +T that turns it off and on, or Alt+Shift+T

Ahhh
I probably accidentally did it (Command + T on an Apple keyboard is a shortcut I use in a program). I'll still fuck with other people's computers though.

In Safari and Firefox, yes :p
I use it in something else as well.

No, I think it's definitely alt + shift + print screen
*sits and waits*

Reminds me of back in the Quake days
Of convincing noobs that typing "bind mouse1 kill" into the console would make all their weapons a one-shot kill.

I knew it'd be something stupid, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway
Whoops.

actually it's ALT+ T+O+T
so if you're typing "total" or something with the alt key pressed that'll cause it.
