How to highlight text and paste new text in it's place?
Previously, when I highlighted the text I wanted to replace, I could then
copy and paste new text over the top of it to replace it. Now, instead of replacing it, when I paste the new text, the older text still remains. It gets pushed further down in the document. I realize I can highlight it and "cut", but it's an extra step that wasn't necessary before and I compile a company publication everyday so it's frustrating. Thanks |

Tools options edit typing replaces selection. Check the box.

Thanks G.M. That did it. Now I'm wondering how that option was disabled if I
never did it myself? Thanks again, Erik "Graham Mayor" wrote: Tools options edit typing replaces selection.
