delete not working
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 microsoft 2003, on xp -- steve |

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? http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
