When I try to delete a selected block, even if it's only one word,
Word asks me down on the status bar, if I really actually want to
delete the block. I have to stop working on my document and tell it
Yesm by typing a "Y". This is very annoying. How can I turn off
this feature and just have word delete the thing when I want it
deleted?
