Default When I highlight text and hit the delete button nothing happens

Found this response in another post:

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit tab | check the "Typing
replaces selection" box | OK.

Since getting Microsoft Office 2003 with my Dell computer I have been unable
to highlight text and then hit the delete button to remove the highlighted
area. What button do I need to click in settings to make it work?

Right now I have to hit "Control X" to delete the highlighted text.
