Default When highlighting text and delete, "Delete block" mesg appears

Hi,

After using Word for 10 years, something new just happened. When I
double-click to highlight a word (or block of words), in the past, hitting
the delete key would delete whatever was highlighted.

Now, I get a small message on the bottom left of my screen that says:
"Delete Block? No (Yes)" Hovering the cursor over either choices and
clicking, does nothing.

If anyone has run into this and solved it, please let me know. Thanks.

Welcome to the world of Word Perfect as seen through the eyes of Microsoft!

Tools = Options = General

Uncheck both options that have Word Perfect in their descriptions.
