To select text and replace when typing a new word
I am using MS Office 2003. I have a problem with Word.
The problem only started recently, so I probably changed some setting without knowing it. Usually when you select text by highlighting it and then starts to type the selected text is replaced with the new text. For some reason that doesn't happen. The highlighted text stays there as if I have only clicked and started to type. How can I change the settings for this? |
