Thank you! I have been going through all these posts looking for an answer.
This was it.

Hi Steve
It sounds like you might have accidentally turned on Track Changes. You will
need to turn it off (to stop the behaviour from happening) *and* accept (or
reject) the changes you have tracked.
For more information, and how to do both those things, see
How does Track Changes in Microsoft Word work?

Hope this helps.

i have a long document that the delete key (just started) is not working in
most of it. new info added after a certain point behaves correctly, and
any
new info added where delete is not working can be deleted. in the bad
area
all the cusor does is skip over the delete letters/words without deleting
them. it doesn't matter whether done individually or shift/arrow key
