space bar not working in outlook on macbook pro

I have a brand new Macbook Pro (bought this week from Apple Store). I migrated everything over from my old Macbook Pro including licensed Microsoft Office package.


When I use Outlook, the spacebar doesn't work. No function at all. So far, this is the only application that is problematic - it's fine in everything else.


Like everyone - I send alot of emails a day and it's a real pain!


Thank you

MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)

Switch this to off if it is on.

Hi iHelen_Ch,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the space bar is not working in Outlook on your Mac. If an app isn't working properly, this article has some relevant steps that may help even though they are for a slightly different issue: If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open.


"1. Quit and reopen the app

Quit the app, then open it again. If the app won't quit, force the app to quit. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

 

2. Restart your Mac

Restart your Mac. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

 

3. Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, then click Updates. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your Mac. Or if you didn't get the app from the App Store, look for updates to the app on the app developer's website. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

 

4. Reinstall the app

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. If you didn't get the app from the App Store, redownload the app on the app developer's website. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
