Deleting text w/o using the delete button
I am unable to delete a word or text by double clicking on it to highlight
and use the back space button. I have done this for years, but for some reason after reinstalling word on my computer this funciton is not working. I should also be able to double click on text to highlight and begin typing over the highlighte text and this also is not working. We've tried working with the global settings, automatic formatting and are at a loss. |
