Selection Won't Delete
When I select something and hit backspace the text/pictures won't delete, or
when I select and try and paste something there it should auto delete, but it doesn't. I've been having this problem for a while, I believe I hit a combo of keys accidentally that activated this. I've never had this problem before, and couldn't seem to find an answer in the shortcut descriptions. |

In Tools Options General, check the option "Typing replaces selection". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
