selection and type behavior different
hey all,
i remember being able to select text and then start typing and what would happen is the text that was seleted would be deleted and whatever i started typing would go in its place. now, when i do this it just removes the selection and starts appeding to the text. is there a setting or something that i changed? thanks, rodchar |

Under Tools, Options, Edit, check the "Typing replaces selection" box.
This is for 2003 and prior but if you are using 2007, hopefully it will point you in the right direction.
