Caps lock stuck on

Hope someone can help.
I turned the pc on today and opened a word doc, pressed caps lock typed what I wanted to then tried to turn caps lock off, only to find it wont switch off. I have to press shift to switch caps lock off. Thought the keyboard has gone at first but it's the same on my spare.
I have absolutely no idea why it's done it, it was working fine last night. How can I undo it so caps lock works as it should?
Thanks in advance.

There is a 'sticky' option that toggles turns caps lock on and off by pressing both shifts together. You might have done it accidently, I know I have before0

To activate StickyKeys
1. Press the Shift key five times. A dialog box opens with instructions on how to set up the StickyKeys feature.
2. If you click OK, an icon (a group of squares) appears in the notification area.
To turn off StickyKeys, press the Shift key five times.
