I have discovered the source of this problem, and it has nothing to do with a setting in Outlook, so please do not spend time on it. The culprit is a Dragon NaturallySpeaking (DNS) version 9.0 auxiliary programme called KnowBrainer 2006 (rev. B). I mention this because other subscribers to this list may also use the above product.
