why won't delete key delete a word in a document
I just installed Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003. I can't get the
delete key to delete selected sections. I can select and backspace twice to delete, but the delete key just won't work. Also, when I save documents, they save as WordPad documents instead of Word documents. In Tools, Options, Save and have Save Word Files As: Word Document (*.doc) selected. What's wrong? Am I mssing something? |

Are you perhaps missing the message in the status bar asking you to confirm
that you want to make the deletion. To avoid having to do this, from the Tools menu, select Options and then go to the General tab and uncheck the two boxes concerning WordPerfect users. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Druless" wrote in message ...
