Problems typing when Clipart is open in Word

[WDHIII]

Currently using Microsoft Word 2010, Windows 10 64 bit and have been having problems the last few days..



Whenever I have Clipart open in a document for some reason I am having trouble typing; the cursor stalls, letter input is sketchy and the space bar frequently doesnt work. As soon as I close Clipart the problem stops. And I know what youre thinking, just close Clipart but as I mentioned its only a recent problem.

This only happens in Word..Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote... even writing its fine... only when Im in Word and have Clipart open so I know it isnt the keyboard itself (which didnt keep me from changing the batteries 3 or 4 times :/ )

Any ideas/suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair)?
