Thanks Nicolas. I'm using 'Org-mode version 8.3.5 (8.3.5-elpaplus @
/home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20160815/)'. When I try
to insert a space nothing happens, no key response, no error message,
nothing. On checking the *Messages* buffer I see this -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Mark set
Template key: 
Word wrapping disabled
Saving file /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/org/scratch.org...
Wrote /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/org/scratch.org
Clipboard pasted as level 2 subtree
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However when I try other capture templates I get this -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Wrote /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/org/scratch.org
(void-variable *) in me/eval-region-and-kill-mark [2 times]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which shows this from my init file -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-package selected
  :defines selected-keymap
  :bind
  (:map selected-keymap
        ("C-c C-c" . me/eval-region-and-kill-mark)
        ("<M-left>" . me/indent-rigidly-left-and-keep-mark)
        ("<M-right>" . me/indent-rigidly-right-and-keep-mark)
        ("<" . mc/mark-previous-like-this)
        (">" . mc/mark-next-like-this)
        ("C-b b" . me/browse-url-and-kill-mark)
        ("C-c c" . capitalize-region)
        ("C-c l" . downcase-region)
        ("C-c u" . upcase-region)
        ("C-f f" . fill-region)
        ("C-g" . selected-off)
        ("C-s r" . reverse-region)
        ("C-s s" . sort-lines)
        ("C-s w" . me/sort-words))
  :init (selected-global-mode))

(defun me/eval-region-and-kill-mark (beg end)
  "Execute the region as Lisp code.
 Call `eval-region' and kill mark. Move back to the beginning of the region."
  (interactive "r")
  (eval-region beg end)
  (setq deactivate-mark t)
  (goto-char beg))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I don't know how to correct it, nor if its related to my lack of wordspaces.

Thanks
Sharon.
