Suzanne Although your suggestion is fine, it still doesn't really solve the problem. I really want that backspace button to work, and I even un-installed and re-installed my entire office pack to make it work, but to no effort.... I just want my backspace button to delete what I tell it to delete... |

I'm glad you got it working since there is not, AFAIK, any other explanation
for or solution to the problem! -- Suzanne S.

Yay! I had this problem too, and your solution works nicely. However I found
the check box (in MS Word XP) under Tools - Options - Edit (not General). Thanks! "Suzanne S.
