Out of the blue word has stopped letting me highlight text and do either of
the following:
- press backspace to delete the selected text (it just becomes unhighlighted
again)
- paste something over the text.

For example: I want to replace a paragraph with another paragraph. i copy
the desired paragraph then highlight the unwanted paragraph and select paste
and instead of replacing it, it just pastes the desired text infront of the
unwanted text!

Very frustrating!! It was working earlier today!

thanks
