Go to Tools|Options and click on the Edit tab. Put a check in the box for
"Typing Replaces Selection" and click Ok. That should fix it.

My computer seems to randomly uncheck this box so I have to go in every
couple weeks and re-check it. I'm not sure why it does this.

When I have some text hightlighted, normally I can start typing and replace
the existing text or hit backspace and have the text cleared out, but that is
not happening. When I do either one the cusor is move in front of the first
highlighted character.

This is occuring in Outlook as well. I delete the Normal.dot and that did
not help.

Please help
