My magic keyboard space bar doesn’t work in word. It escapes when spacebar is pressed

Hello Apple_magic,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We've reviewed your question and it looks like you are having an issue using your Magic Keyboard in Microsoft Word on your iPad. It's understandable that you'd want this resolved, so allow us to assist with that. Let’s start by taking the following steps, which may help with this unexpected behavior: restart your iPad, make sure it is up to date and unpair/re-pair the keyboard with your iPad.

1. Restart your iPad

2. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

3. Set up and use Magic Keyboard for iPad

If the issues persist, we suggest testing your iPad in another application besides Word to see if the keyboard issue happens there, too. If you have follow-up questions, please let us know. We're here for you. Have a fantastic day!
