Default After selecting a portion of text, I cannot delete it

Hi,

I have a problem with deleting text in MS Word: basically, if I select
a phrase or portion of text (by highlighting it with my mouse) I am no
longer able to delete it by pressing the Del button. It only works if I
use right-click + Cut. It's quite annoying especially that I'm used to
Del.

While the Del function worked in the past, I don't know what I did
about it now and I can't fix it.

Thanks in advance!


Go to Tools Options General and uncheck both options that mention
WordPerfect.
