is that the new text enters before the highlighted text. 192.168.0.1

The second problem, no doubt related, is that again if I highlight text and
press the backspace the highlighted text is not deleted.

This actually becomes quite annoying especially as my Outlook uses the word
editor.

I am using MS Word 2003 (11.8134.8132) SP2
Part of MS Office Pro 2003

Many Thanks,

Oliver
Go to Edit tab of Tools / Options
Check "Typing replaces selection." Word considers backspacing "typing."
