I am working in Office 2003 and all of a sudden when I highlight text and
then try to delete it with the backspace key, it doesn't work. I have
reloaded office, I have tried a different keyboard. I don't know if this is a
Microsoft issue or a hardware problem. Help!

Under ToolsOptionsEdit, check the box against "Typing replaces selection"

Hope this helps.
