Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble deleting some text in your Word document. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on and get it fixed.
First, try
highlighting the text you want to delete and pressing the
"Delete" key on your keyboard. If that doesn't work, try these steps:
- Check if the text is in a protected section of the document. If it is, you'll need to unprotect that section before you can delete the text. To do this, go to the "Review" tab in the ribbon, click on "Restrict Editing," and then click on "Stop Protection" if it's available.
- Check if the text is in a table or a text box. If it is, you'll need to select the table or text box first, and then delete the text inside. To select a table, click anywhere inside it and then click on the "Layout" tab in the ribbon. To select a text box, click on the border of the box to select it.
- Check if the text is in a header or footer. If it is, you'll need to go to the "Insert" tab in the ribbon, click on "Header" or "Footer," and then click on "Edit Header" or "Edit Footer" to access the text. Once you've deleted the text, click on "Close Header and Footer" to return to the main document.
- If none of the above steps work, try copying the text you want to keep to a new document, and then deleting the original document. This should remove any formatting or other issues that might be preventing you from deleting the text.
I hope one of these solutions works for you! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help with.
