Problems deleting using "backspace"
I can't delete words/phrases anymore by highlighting and pressing backspace.
Now, I have to hit the "delete" key instead. Also if I highlight a sentence and copy/paste in another sentence, the original sentence still remains. Does anyone know why this is or how I can fix it? |

In Tools Options Edit, check "Typing replaces selection". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
