...
When I block letters in a word to delete, it deletes the entire word.
for example if I type "abcdog" and only want "dog" the entire word goes
away
when I block to delete. Even if not using "blocl" the entire word goes
away.
If I block an entire paragraph to delete it will only delete one word at
a
time...not the entre paragraph I do not want.
