Somewhere in the Options (depends which version of Word you have)
there's one that covers exactly that situation. No idea why they've made it an option -- it should be checked (ticked). On Aug 12, 5:33*pm, WendyR wrote: When I highlight words or letters and use backspace key it won't delete. How can I change it back to deleting like it used to? |

Select Tools Options Edit tab and turn on "Typing replaces selection".
In case of Word 2007, you will find the option he Office button Word Options Advanced category (near the top). -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "WendyR" wrote: When I highlight words or letters and use backspace key it won't delete.
